Talk ‘til you're Blue and Green in the face!!
Damonte Ranch High School Forensics
Forensics, more commonly known as speech and Debate, is an activity that involves critical thinking, analysis, creativity, and individuality. The National Forensics League is the body that governs speech competition in the United States, recognizes coaches and students for levels of achievement. Students may compete in Individual (speech) events as well as debate events. Each month, a school in our league hosts a two-day tournament, in which students compete against each other to be the best. These events are quit diverse in nature and ensure that forensic competition offers something for everyone. This team is rewarding in both life and social skills that will carry with you until the day you die. You will meet interesting people, learn about things that you’ve never given a second thought, and develop skills and friendships that will last a lifetime.
