Recent history

North Tama County joined the Iowa Star in 2003, leaving the North Iowa Cedar League.[2]

Former member CAL last had their own high school in the 2017-2018 school year. After many years of co-oping with Dows High School and competing as CAL-Dows, Dows left the agreement and partnered with Clarion-Goldfield for the 2014-2015 school year. CAL school district still supports grades K-6, with grades 7-12 attending Hampton-Dumont.[3]

Members Baxter and Collins-Maxwell formerly partnered in sports, which Baxter ended that agreement to compete on their own in 2016. Both schools joined the conference separately in 2017.[4]
