The Tigers program pre-dates modern Illinois Scholastic Bowl founded in 1980 by IHSSBCA Hall of Fame coach, Anna Morris. Morris along with Brenda Bratcher of Carterville were influential in organizing the competitive Southern Illinois circuit in the 1980's & 1990's.

Following Morris' retirement, Herrin remained competitive throughout the 2000's. The Tigers were promoted to IHSA Class 2A in 2012.
