The Suburban Conference (formally the St Louis Suburban Public High School Athletic and Activities Association) is a Missouri State High School Activities Association recognized high school extracurricular league which includes 32 schools located in the suburbs of St. Louis. The conference comprises mostly schools in St. Louis County but also a handful from Jefferson County. Because of the large number of teams in suburban St. Louis, the conference is split up geographically into three sub-conferences, each divided into two divisions. The new divisions went into effect prior to the 2014-15 season.^[1] Prior to then, the schools were split into four conferences.

In 2018, the St. Louis Suburban Public High School Athletic and Activities Association re-aligned their three conferences into various pools by sport. For purposes of athletic competition pool assignments are based on the following factors: athletics offered, competitive balance, competitive trends, diversity, and school size. The number of pools varies from two (boys' volleyball) to five (football), depending on the sport, with most sports having three or four pools.^[2]
