Auburn High School is a public high school located on the west side of the city of Rockford, Illinois. In addition to being a public high school, it also is home to a gifted Academy which serves all of the Rockford public schools. It is this academy from which the quizbowl team controversially draws many of its top players.

The Knights currently compete as a member of the Northern Illinois Conference (NIC-10). It also competes in Class AA, the "large school" division, of the Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) State Championship Series. The current coach is Linda Greene.

History

In the new millennium, Auburn's team has been one of the most consistently good teams in Illinois, finishing in the top four at IHSA State for eleven straight years (2002-2012). Highlights during this period include a triple crown of state championships (IHSA, Masonic, and NAQT) in 2008; NAQT state championships in 2009, 2010, and 2012; and 7th-place finishes at the 2009 HSNCT and 2011 NSC.

Each sectional comprises roughly 24 geographically concentrated teams, and thus roughly 125 starting players. Through the 2006-07 season, the top ten players were recognized in each sectional, (starting with 2007-08, the number was raised to 15) with teams restricted to no more than two nominations (three nominations starting in 2007-08).
