The Iron Hills Conference was an athletic conference of twenty high schools located in Essex County, Morris County, and Union County in New Jersey, United States. The Iron division was often regarded as one of the most competitive in the state.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The conference was split up at the end of the 2008–2009 sports season due to conference realignment changes made by the NJSIAA.

Notes

  • East Orange Campus High School houses the upperclassmen; freshmen are housed at East Orange Campus 9 High School.
  • Some of West Morris Central's teams go by "Wolfpack." However, the "Highlanders" nickname is retained out of respect for the school's alumni.
