'''University of Illinois Laboratory High School''' (Uni High) is a lab school on the engineering part of the [[Illinois|University of Illinois]] campus in Urbana. It includes a composite year for 7th and 8th grades alongside the standard four years of high school. However, only high school students are allowed to participate in the Scholastic Bowl team due to age restrictions by the IHSA, with the middle school students in a separate middle school team. The Uni High Scholastic Bowl team was founded in 2013 and has since expanded to include a B team and a C team, with about 20 active members on all teams. The team is coached by John Butler and its president is Tim Cho. Although the school is called "Uni High" throughout the Champaign-Urbana area, teams from other parts of the state tend to call it "Uni Lab", "U of I Lab", or "Urbana Uni Lab School".

University of Illinois Laboratory High School (Uni High) is a lab school on the engineering part of the University of Illinois campus in Urbana. It includes a composite year for 7th and 8th grades alongside the standard four years of high school. However, only high school students are allowed to participate in the Scholastic Bowl team due to age restrictions by the IHSA, with the middle school students in a separate middle school team. The Uni High Scholastic Bowl team was founded in 2013 and has since expanded to include a B team and a C team, with about 20 active members on all teams. The team is coached by John Butler and its president is Tim Cho. Although the school is called "Uni High" throughout the Champaign-Urbana area, teams from other parts of the state tend to call it "Uni Lab", "U of I Lab", or "Urbana Uni Lab School".

In 2015, Uni won the Class A IHSA State Championship. Because of the IHSA's success factor policies, Uni was moved up to class AA because it is a selective-admissions school, despite having only 320 students. The team placed second at the 2017 class AA tournament, losing to IMSA 500-320 in the championship round after beating Carbondale, Auburn (Rockford, IL), and OPRF.

In 2018, a team comprised of Tim Cho, Ethan Ashbrook, Dylan Bowman, and Jonathan Lau won the NAQT Illinois State Championship by defeating Rockford Auburn in an advantaged final 350-320, finishing out the tournament with a 12-1 record. With only about 320 students, it became the smallest ever school to win a large school or open division tournament.

The team plans to attend the 2018 SSNCT in April due to relative proximity to Chicago.
