The '''Southwest Suburban Conference''' or '''SWSC''' is a league of high school programs across the south Chicago suburbs. All of these schools are eligible to compete in the "large school" Class AA of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA).

Until 2006, the Conference was named the "South Inter-Conference Assocation" or "SICA". The SICA scholastic bowl league was founded by [[IHSSBCA Hall of Fame]] coach, Gene Kruse, of [[Bradley-Bourbonnais]]. The SICA was one of [[Illinois Scholastic Bowl]]'s oldest competitive leagues.

The league has been using [[NAQT]] questions since at least 2010.
