• Task Force goes over initial conference realignment plan (gmtoday.com) — Oak Creek High School’s athletic teams could be shifted into a revamped Greater Metro Conference under a preliminary WIAA realignment plan for non-football sports. The proposal would move Oak Creek out of the Classic 8 just a year after joining, while also reshuffling Franklin, Germantown, Menomonee Falls and Grafton. Final decisions are expected in March 2026 after more review and feedback.
