The conference contains eight schools in six counties ([[Cass County, Indiana|Cass]], [[Fulton County, Indiana|Fulton]], [[Marshall County, Indiana|Marshall]], [[Pulaski County, Indiana|Pulaski]], [[Saint Joseph County, Indiana|St. Joseph]], and [[Starke County, Indiana|Starke]]), but may expand to include more schools in the future.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jconline.com/article/20130919/SPORTS01/309190053/Midwest-Conference-down-4-West-Central-officially-exits |title=Midwest Conference Down to 4 as West Central Officially Exits |publisher=Journal-Courier, Lafayette, IN |date=2013-09-19 |access-date=2014-01-26}}</ref>

==History==
*2015: The Hoosier North Athletic Conference (HNAC) was formed by schools from the Northern State Conference (Culver, Knox, LaVille, and Triton), Midwest Conference (Caston, Pioneer, West Central, and Winamac), and then independent North Judson-San Pierre. The HNAC was formed in an effort to shorten travel distances and increase competition among member schools. The exodus of the 4 Northern State Conference teams caused that conference to fold, and forced other teams from [[Bremen High School (Bremen, Indiana)|Bremen]], [[Jimtown High School (Elkhart, Indiana)|Jimtown]], [[John Glenn High School (Walkerton, Indiana)|John Glenn]], and [[New Prairie High School|New Prairie]] to join the [[Northern Indiana Athletic Conference|Northern Indiana Conference]].
*2017: The West Central school board approved a measure to leave the Hoosier North Athletic Conference and re-join the Midwest conference, a move that, in accordance with HNAC bylaws, will be completed by the end of the 2018–19 school year.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Hettinger|first1=Paul|title=West Central leaving HNAC|url=http://pulaskijournal.com/news/west-central-leaving-hnac|website=Pulaski Journal|access-date=22 January 2018}}</ref>
*2023: Knox and LaVille both announced their intentions to leave the Hoosier North Athletic Conference and join 3 teams from the Northern Indiana Conference (Bremen, Jimtown, and John Glenn) and a team from the [[Three Rivers Conference (Indiana)|Three Rivers Conference]] (Tippecanoe Valley) to form a currently unnamed conference that will begin play in the 2024–2025 season.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.goshennews.com/sports/prep-sports-six-schools-forming-new-conference-starting-in-2024-25/article_a4615f7e-d3d6-11ed-8818-835cfd789d86.html | title=PREP SPORTS: Six schools forming new conference starting in 2024-25 | date=5 April 2023 }}</ref>
*2023: South Central (Union Mills) announced their intention to join the Hoosier North Athletic Conference as an affiliate member for football only starting in 2024 or 2025, leaving the Greater South Shore Conference and remaining in the Porter County Conference for all other sports.<ref>https://twitter.com/jp8185/status/1653939349061263363?s=61&t=bRs21s3UEPJJArjkLqt8yQ</ref>
