Please join us in congratulating Aminah and Dabria, who broke to semi-finals at a national circuit tournament in Lexington, MA over MLK weekend! They qualified for the Barkley Forum at Emory University, a highly competitive tournament that is described below:
The Barkley Forum for High Schools (BFHS) has been firmly committed to supporting high school forensics since it began in 1956 and continues today to provide top-flight national competition at the high school level. Each year, typically during the last weekend of January, over a thousand students, teachers, school administrators, and college coaches descend on the Emory University campus from 35 states to engage in a variety of forensic events. The BFHS showcases successful high school participants in final rounds packed with large audiences and honors the high school teachers who work hard to provide a forensics education to their students.
Please wish them luck as we travel to Atlanta this weekend. If you know of any students who would be good fits for the Speech and Debate team, please send them to Mr. Gertin or Ms. Kenn - we welcome new additions to the team!
