The Eastern Suburban Conference is a former high school athletic conference in Wisconsin, originally formed in 1969 and disbanding in 2001. With the exception of the conference's two private schools, all member schools belonged to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association and were located in south central Wisconsin.

History

The Eastern Suburban Conference was formed in 1969 after the dissolution of the eighteen-member Madison Suburban Conference. Six of its original members were part of that conference's Eastern Section (Cambridge, Deerfield, Johnson Creek, Juneau-Reeseville, Lakeside Lutheran in Lake Mills, and Marshall) with Palmyra and Queen of Apostles in Madison rounding out the original membership roster.[1] Juneau-Reeseville (later renamed Dodgeland) left the conference after only one season to become a charter member of the newly created Flyway Conference.[2] They were replaced by Hustisford and Williams Bay, formerly of the Fox Valley Tri-County League and Indian Trails Conference, respectively.[3]

Waterloo joined the Eastern Suburban Conference from the Capitol Conference in 1977,[4] and two years later, Queen of Apostles High School in Madison left the conference after it was closed by the Catholic order (Pallotine Fathers and Brothers of Milwaukee) that ran the school.[5] They were replaced in 1980 by Dodgeland, making their return to the Eastern Suburban after ten years of competition as members of the Flyway Conference.[6] Palmyra-Eagle would leave the Eastern Suburban to join the Rock Valley Conference in 1990,[7] and Lakeside Lutheran would make their exit in 1995 for the Capitol Conference.[8] The Eastern Suburban Conference would end its run in 2001 with three schools (Cambridge, Marshall and Waterloo) joining the Capitol Conference and the remaining five (Deerfield, Dodgeland, Hustisford, Johnson Creek and Williams Bay) joining with the Dual County Conference to create the new Trailways Conference.[9]
