The Southwest Prairie Conference (SPC) is an organization of eight high schools in northern Illinois, representing five communities in that part of the state. These high schools are all members of the Illinois High School Association. The conference began competing during the 2006-2007 academic year. All of the schools came from the former Suburban Prairie Conference South division except for Romeoville High School, which came from the SICA (South Inter Conference Association). Plainfield South High School was the conference's champion for Football in the inaugural season, as was Oswego East for speech, Oswego for Tennis, and Minooka for Wrestling. Upon opening, Plainfield East High School will become the 9th member of the SPC, and the only non-founding member to-date.

[edit] Wrestling

The SPC is a particularly strong public school wrestling conference, with strong teams from Plainfield Central and Minooka Community. The 2007 most valuable wrestler was Ryan Prater of Plainfield Central, with votes also going to Jeremy Ellingwood of Plainfield Central, Artie Grubba of Romeoville, and Brian Bokoski of Minooka.
