The Midwest Prep Conference began play in 1940 as the Wisconsin Prep Conference with five private high schools in southeastern Wisconsin. Three were located in the Milwaukee area (Lutheran High, Milwaukee Country Day, and Milwaukee University), one in Watertown (Northwestern Prep) and one in Beaver Dam (Wayland Academy).{{Cite news |date=9 April 1940 |title=Prep Conference for Wisconsin is Formed |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/187581449/?match=1&terms=%22wisconsin%20prep%20conference%22 |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |pages=13}} Northwestern Military & Naval Academy in Lake Geneva had a brief stint in the conference from 1945 to 1949,{{Cite news |date=26 November 1945 |title=Wayland Places Two Players on All Prep Eleven |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/1037055812/?match=1&terms=%22wisconsin%20prep%20conference%22%20%22northwestern%20military%22 |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Beaver Dam Daily Citizen |pages=8}} and was replaced by Racine Lutheran High School in 1950.{{Cite news |date=31 March 1950 |title=Lutheran High Crusaders Join Wisconsin Conference |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/334285689/?match=1&terms=%22wisconsin%20prep%20conference%22%20racine%20lutheran |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Racine Journal Times |pages=15}}

In 1952, the Wisconsin Prep Conference added two schools to bring the membership roster to eight. Both schools were located in Illinois (Lake Forest Academy and North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka). With the addition of Illinois-based schools to the loop came a new name: the Midwest Prep Conference.{{Cite news |last=Brehm |first=Keith |date=10 March 1952 |title=Lutheran 3d; New Prep Loop Set |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/334413833/?match=1&terms=%22midwest%20prep%22%20lake%20forest%20academy |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Racine Journal Times |pages=11}} North Shore Country Day School's tenure in the conference would be brief, as they left in 1954.{{Cite news |last=Trower |first=Ralph |date=11 September 1954 |title=Lutheran High Faces Grid Rebuilding Task |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/342236541/?match=2&terms=%22midwest%20prep%22%20%22north%20shore%22 |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Racine Journal Times |pages=12}} The next year, Lutheran High School in Milwaukee was split up by the two ecclesiastical organizations running the school. Milwaukee Lutheran High School was opened by the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Lutheran High School was established by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, both in 1955.{{Cite news |last=Trower |first=Ralph |date=30 November 1955 |title=NW Prep, Wayland, MCD Loom Strong in Midwest Prep |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/342201096/?match=1&terms=%22milwaukee%20lutheran%22%20%22wisconsin%20lutheran%22 |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Racine Journal Times |pages=35}}

The year 1964 saw numerous changes to Midwest Prep Conference membership with a net loss of two members. Milwaukee Country Day School and Milwaukee University School (along with the all-girls Milwaukee-Downer Seminary) merged to form the University School of Milwaukee. The new school took over both MCDS’'s campus in Whitefish Bay and MUS's River Hills campus, along with both predecessor schools' conference membership.{{Cite news |date=8 September 1963 |title=3 Milwaukee Prep Schools to Merge |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/287586978/?match=1&terms=%22university%20school%22%20merge |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Appleton Post-Crescent |pages=2}} The Midwest Prep also lost Lake Forest Academy and Wayland Academy, becoming a Wisconsin-only conference in the process.{{Cite news |date=15 November 1963 |title=Lake Forest, Wayland Quit Midwest Prep |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/342423525/?match=1&terms=%22midwest%20prep%20conference%22%20%22lake%20forest%22 |access-date=6 January 2025 |work=Racine Journal Times |pages=17}} The entry of Concordia College Prep in Milwaukee to the conference brought its membership roster to six members.
