The Cahokia Conference is a high school athletic and competitive activity organization which consists of 12 schools in southwestern Illinois, near St. Louis. All of the schools are located in St. Clair, Randolph, Monroe, and Clinton counties.
Two schools, Valmeyer and Steeleville, were added for the 2006–07 season. The addition split the conference into two divisions, the Mississippi and the Kaskaskia.

*The class in which a school competes depends on the size of the school, and the particular sport or activity. Some activities compete in two classes, some in three, and some in four. The classes listed here are, respectively, the classes in which these schools compete in the 2, 3, and 4 class systems.
Starting with the 2017-18 school year, Salem will join the Cahokia Conference as a full member. [1] The same year, Dupo will leave the Cahokia for the Prairie State Conference for football only. [2]
Sports
Each year a conference champion is determined in each division for volleyball, boys and girls basketball, baseball, and softball by each division member playing round-robin home and away. The team with the best win–loss record is the champion.
For boys and girls golf and boys soccer one champion is determined by round–robin play, with each school in the conference playing each other once. The team with the best win–loss record is the champion.
Cross country and track & field for boys and girls each have one champion determined by the winner of each sport's conference meet. The scholastic bowl champion is the winner of the conference tournament.
Like golf and soccer, the football championship is determined based on round–robin play. However, only seven teams (the Mississippi division and Dupo) field football teams.

Miscellaneous Facts
Baseball Achievements
No other small school athletic conference in the state of Illinois has claimed as many state baseball championships as the Cahokia Conference. The list of championships by current member teams includes 7 years (1979, 1981, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1996, and 2007), as well as 9 runner-up performances (1948, 1956, 1978, 1990, 1993, 2002, 2006, 2008, and 2009), and two fourth-place finishes (2006 & 2012).
2005 Volleyball Championship
In the 2005 state volleyball tournament Breese Central defeated Columbia in the championship match. This was the first time in IHSA Volleyball history that two teams from the same conference met in the title match. Ironically, the conference champion of 2005 was Freeburg, which had moved to class AA and won the first ever AA regional for a school from this conference.
