Glacier Trails Conference


The Glacier Trails Conference is a high school athletic conference with its membership concentrated on the northern outskirts of the Milwaukee metropolitan area. It began competition during the 2025-26 school year, and the conference is affiliated with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

History

The Glacier Trails Conference was formed in preparation for the 2025-26 school year, and consists of seven high schools. Three members left the defunct East Central Conference to help form the new conference. The other four schools to enter the league came from the North Shore Conference and the Fox River Classic Conference. The Glacier Trails Conference was named after the glaciers that shaped the Kettle Moraine, a geological region that coincides with the geographic footprint of the conference.
Football competition is set to begin with the 2026-2027 WIAA realignment cycle, and all members with the exception of Sheboygan South will be participating. The seventh slot is set to be filled by Grafton, currently affiliated with the Woodland Conference for football.
