Feb. 1Welcome to Forensics! Be Ye Kind
What is Forensics exactly? Forensics is a public speaking elective where we do both speeches and acting events. You find or create a piece and compete in tournaments throughout the second semester. Forensics starts the second semester; talk to your counselor for a schedule change to join if you haven't already signed up.
We have a Wednesday workshop every week after school until 5:00, if you want to come in to work on your piece with help from our coach.
The Smash tournament is over. Congratulations to our champion Ben Barker, runner-up Ashton Gingerich, and third place finisher Zachary Walker.
"The best thing about forensics is it gives a voice to people that are usually not heard."
-David Staats, junior
"Forensics, I think, is extremely good because as long as you work, you succeed."
-Ben Barker, junior
