2014 Additions
The following schools were formerly associate members of the Colonial League; they participated in a number of sports, with some in league play and others as independent status. In time for the 2014–15 sports seasons, they were promoted to a full-time membership.
2014 Departure
The following school was offered to change its associate member status to full-time membership for the 2014-15 season, but declined.
