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:
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
