History
The Southern Connecticut Conference was formed in 1994, when 20 high schools, from four different leagues, came together:
- All-Connecticut Conference: Fairfield Prep, Mercy, Notre Dame (West Haven), Sacred Heart, and Xavier;
- District League: Hamden, Hillhouse, West Haven, and Wilbur Cross;
- Housatonic League: Amity, Branford, Cheshire, Derby, East Haven, Lyman Hall, North Haven, Sheehan, and Shelton;
- Shoreline Conference: Guilford and Hand.
The league's Board of Governors decided on a three-divisional format, electing to name each division after Native American rivers (the Hammonasset, Housatonic, and Quinnipiac Rivers) located in the Southern Connecticut region:
- Hammonasset: Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Hand, Hillhouse, and North Haven;
- Housatonic: Amity, Cheshire, Derby, Lyman Hall, Sheehan, and Shelton;
- Quinnipiac: Fairfield Prep, Hamden, Mercy, Notre Dame (West Haven), Sacred Heart, West Haven, Wilbur Cross, and Xavier.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
