The Metro Alliance was a Minnesota State High School League-sanctioned athletics conference that existed from 1997 to 2005. The conference was formed for the 1997-98 school year by seven schools. The majority of the schools came from the Tri-Metro Conference and included Brooklyn Center High School, Mahtomedi High School, Mound Westonka High School, Orono High School, and St. Anthony Village High School.〔"New seven-team Metro Alliance to begin play in fall." ''St. Paul Pioneer Press'', January 28, 1997, pg. 7D〕 Columbia Heights High School and Fridley High School, the other two founding members of the conference, left the North Suburban Conference to join.〔"New seven-team..."〕 Farmington High School declined an invitation to be an eighth founding member;〔"New seven-team..."〕 however, Benilde-St. Margaret's ultimately joined the conference as final school.〔"Boys' Basketball History." Benilde-St. Margaret's. http://www.bsm-online.org/boysbbhistory.aspx〕 The break-up of the short-lived conference began soon after it formed. Mahtomedi left the Metro Alliance to join the new Classic Suburban Conference at the end of the 2000-01 school year.〔Leighton, Tim. "It's bye-week for 6 SPS schools," ''St. Paul Pioneer Press'', February 3, 2000, pg. 1D〕 When the conference broke up in 2005, Fridley and Benilde-St. Margaret's joined the North Suburban Conference.〔Haggstrom, Ron.
