Beginnings
Established in 1994, the Hoosier Heritage Conference originated with four high schools from three different conferences. Hamilton Southeastern and New Palestine from the Rangeline Conference, Mount Vernon(Fortville) from the White River Conference and Rushville from the South Central Conference, joined forces to become the charter members of the newly organized Hoosier Heritage Conference.

These four schools would comprise the HHC until 1997, at which time four more schools would join. Delta and Pendleton Heights from the White River Conference, Greenfield-Central as an Independent and Shelbyville from the South Central Conference came aboard. Hamilton Southeastern opted to drop out of the HHC in '97 to join the Olympic Conference. The result of these moves made the HHC seven schools strong.

1999 would see the eighth and final school join the HHC. Yorktown came over from the Rangeline Conference, which was disbanded, and the HHC was complete and has not changed since.

The only changes which have occured over the years has primarily been classification moves. The original four teams of the HHC were 3A schools, with the exception of Hamilton Southeastern, which was 4A. Delta joined the HHC as a 4A team, was re-classified to 3A for the '97 - '99 seasons, then moved back up to 4A in 2000. Greenfield-Central, Pendleton Heights and Shelbyville all joined as 4A schools and have remained as such since. Yorktown has been a 3A school since it joined in '99. Mt. Vernon and New Palestine were re-classified as 4A schools in 2006. As it stands now, all schools but two are 4A, those two being Rushville and Yorktown.
