Boone, IA- Conferences will be shifted around after this school year is over as multiple teams put in their application and got it approved to join different cadres. The Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) is working in combination with the Conference Realignment Committee to make it happen.
The Conference Realignment Committee, which was established by the signing of House File 783, and started meeting in January of 2026 is in charge of reviewing and determining applications of member schools looking to move conferences.
The committee members are active superintendents and activities directors from member schools, including Dr. Andy Crozier of Central Lee and Scott Lamm of Mt. Pleasant for our local schools.
So far, sevens schools have had their proposals approved with Decorah, Waverly-Shell Rock, and Ankeny Christian still waiting for their decision. None of our local schools have changed conferences.
