Metro Classic Conference

The Metro Classic Conference was founded in 2012, the result of a split between member schools in the larger Midwest Classic Conference. Eight schools left the conference that year: Catholic Central in Burlington, Dominican in Whitefish Bay, Martin Luther in Greendale, Racine Lutheran, Shoreland Lutheran in Somers, St. Catherine's in Racine, St. Joseph in Kenosha and The Prairie School in Wind Point. St. Thomas More High School in Milwaukee, who had just left the Woodland Conference, rounded out the loop's original membership roster at nine schools.{{Cite news |date=14 August 2012 |title=New eras kick off all around |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/599859725/?match=1&terms=%22metro%20classic%22%20%22midwest%20classic%22 |access-date=9 January 2025 |work=Kenosha News |pages=B1}} The conference was named after the old Metro Conference, a WISAA-sponsored conference that existed from 1974 to 1997 and counted four former members (Dominican, St. Catherine's, St. Joseph and St. Thomas More) in the new conference.
