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".

The team attended the 2014 HSNCT and the 2015 HSNCT. The team attended the 2016 NSC and the 2017 NSC. They placed eleventh at the 2016 NAQT Illinois State Championship and ninth place at the 2017 NAQT Illinois State Championship. They won the 2015 Class A IHSA State Championship. After being moved up to class AA, they placed second in 2017, losing to IMSA in the championship round.

As of 2018, Uni High is within the top five teams in Illinois and the top fifty in the nation.
