Drama students take home awards at Competition

Drama Academy students participated in a New Jersey Drama and Forensics League Tournament on January 14, 2017 at Absegami High School.

This was ACIT's first tournament and we went in to do our best but knowing that this would be more of a learning opportunity due to our novice in some of the rules and conventions of the events.

However, we are please to announce we walked away taking 2nd place for overall team in sweepstakes and a substantial number of individual awards!
