100 Years of the
WEST SUBURBAN CONFERENCE

Welcome to the Centennial Celebration website for the West Suburban Conference.  The West Suburban Pioneer League, as it was  originally known, was formed in January of 1924.  These pages will recognize those teams, individuals, events and stories that have provided so many people with so many memories over the past 100 years.
  
Along with the History of the West Suburban Conference, this website will recognize those athletes, coaches and contributors who have made an impact during the first 100 years of the conference.  Those individuals will be part of the WSC-100 Honor Roll.  Over 900 people were nominated for this recognition by coaches, administrators, historians and media members; and the final listing was selected by a special blue-ribbon committee.  Check out the biographies for each of these 100-year Honor Roll recipients for athletes and coaches & contributors by clicking on the above links.
   
Finally, throughout the 2023-2024 school year, we will be adding oral histories from the people who have added to the vast history of the West Suburban Conference.  These recollections of stories will provide a permanent record of significant events from yesteryear, so that they can be documented and remembered onward in the future.  Check back often to see these tales from the past.
