Membership Changesedit
In December 2017 it was announced that Purdy High School would be leaving the Ozark 7 Conference to accept a "long-standing" invitation to join the Southwest Central League.[3] It was also reported that Southwest R-V Schools would also be leaving the Ozark 7 to join the SWCL.[3] This move was made official in January 2018. Both Purdy and Southwest became full members beginning in the 2018-2019 academic year. The move expanded the Southwest Central League's footprint to include Barry County.
In January 2022, the school board of the Sparta School District voted to accept an invitation to the Summit Conference beginning in the 2023-2024 school year ending a 36 year membership in the SWCL.
