Scholars' Bowl competition on the high school level has been around for a number of years in Kansas, but it was not until 1986 that members of the Kansas Association Scholars' Bowl Coaches approached the KSHSAA Exectutive Board seeking recognition of their group ans asking for KSHSAA sanction of state championships.
The first regional and state scholars' bowl contests sponsored
by the KSHSAA were held in the spring of 1987. Over 200 schools participateed
at the regional level in three Classifications - 6 through 5A, 4 through
3A, and 2 through 1A. State champions in those Classifications were declared
in March 1987. The KSHSAA Scholars' Bowl program has grown to where there
are six state championships and over 330 schoools participants.
