Dr. Phillips High School has been a member of the Metro Conference since it opened as a school in 1987-88. The Metro Conference is made up of 18 members - all of the largest Orlando area public schools. The Metro Conference has been divided into two halves - the Metro West and Metro East due to recent expansion. Dr. Phillips participates in the Metro West section which is made up of nine schools - Dr. Phillips, Olympia, Apopka, West Orange, Edgewater, Jones, Ocoee, Evans, and Wekiva High Schools. The Metro East is made up of nine schools - Boone, Colonial, Oak Ridge, Lake Nona, East River, University, Winter Park, Freedom, and Timber Creek High Schools.
The Panther basketball team has dominated the Metro Conference. Since joining the Metro Conference in 1987-88, the boys basketball team has won outright or shared the Metro Conference championship 11 times! The next closest school in that time period has 5 championships (won and/or shared). The Panthers have placed at least one player on the 1st Team All Metro squad in each of Anthony Long's nine seasons as head coach!
