Forensics is an extra-curricular activity offered to students in 6th, 7th & 8th grade. The purpose of middle school forensics is to build self-confidence and oral competency by developing and practicing fundamental public speaking skills. With the help of their coach, team members prepare an oral presentation from one of numerous different categories including Prose, Poetry, Storytelling, NewsReporting, Solo Acting and Group Acting, and Demonstration. These selections are then performed at scheduled tournaments and festivals where students are evaluated according to individual category standards.
