The Bay State Conference (BSC) is an interscholastic high school athletic league located in Norfolk County and Middlesex County of Massachusetts. The Bay State Conference is named after the nickname of Massachusetts which is the Bay State. As of 2023-2024, the Bay State Conference consists of 10 member schools. All Bay State Conference member schools are public secondary schools and also members of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) in District 7 (along with the Hockomock League and the Tri-Valley League in the same regions).
The Bay State Conference is known to be one of the most competitive conferences in the MIAA with some of the biggest high schools in the state of Massachusetts.[by whom?] In most sports members are in MIAA division 1 and/or division 2 for MIAA tournaments depending on the sport. The smallest member in the Bay State Conference is Milton High School at 1,070 students while the largest member is Framingham High School at 2,177 students.
Members in towns/cities that are located on Route 9 and/or I-90 are in the Carey division, while schools in towns/cities that are located on I-95, I-93, and/or Route 3 are in the Herget division. All members are within a 35 mile radius of each other with the furthest distance between schools being 34 miles with Framingham High School and Weymouth High School.[citation needed]
In 2017 Carey division member Dedham High School left the Bay State Conference and joined the Tri-Valley League as the league's 11th member.[1] Norwood High School another Carey division member followed suit and became the Tri-Valley League's 12th member a year later in 2018. In 2019 after the departure of Dedham and Norwood, the divisions were realigned with Newton North High School moving from the Herget division to the Carey division.
