The Southern Roads Conference is an Indiana-based conference containing IHSAA and non-IHSAA public, charter, and religious schools. This league was founded in 2018, as longtime independents Cannelton and Medora wanted to form a conference that would include the isolated small schools.[1]

Charter Members include Cannelton High School, Christian Academy of Madison, Columbus Christian School, Dugger Union High School, Evansville Christian School, and Medora High School.

The first school year of the conference was the 2018–2019 school year. The SRC recognized volleyball, girls basketball, and boys basketball. There was also a conference baseball tournament held that year, since there were enough schools with teams and interest.

The first year for girls and boys cross country was the 2021–2022 school year. Lighthouse Christian hosted the first ever SRC cross country meet. Cross country is now a recognized conference sport.

After the 2020–2021 season, Evansville Christian School left the conference. Their enrollment and sports programs were growing rapidly, and they didn't want the conference to lose its competitiveness.

Lighthouse Christian Academy and Seven Oaks Classical Academy became members during the summer of 2021, with the 2021–2022 school year being their first year with the SRC. Pleasant View Christian School was voted in to the conference in September 2021.
