Evart was the first to leave the JPC since its foundation in 1972; Coleman would be the second to do so, leaving in 2002.

Due to declining enrollment, Roscommon and Houghton Lake departed the JPC for the Highland Conference at the start of the 2019–20 academic year.[1] Taking the place of both Roscommon County schools, Pinconning and Shepherd joined the conference at the start of the 2019–2020 academic year. Both departed from the Tri-Valley Conference.[2]

On June 29, 2023, it was announced starting for the 2024–25 academic year four schools will join the JPC. These four schools being Ogemaw Heights, Standish-Sterling, St Louis and Bullock Creek.
