You can support forensics students at the state forensics meet on Saturday, April 15th at DeForest High School. Forensics is a competitive speech team where groups and individuals pick from categories that show their public speaking skills. Categories range from poetry, informative, and radio. The local schools involved in subdistricts were Southern Door, Sevastopol, and Sturgeon Bay. Gary Barta, a state-qualifying senior at Southern Door, goes more in-depth about the inner workings of forensics.
Forensics is an opportunity for students to put themselves out in the community. Barta says “It’s a good way to get your way into public speaking.” He plans on pursuing journalism at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire.
