2007-2008 Debate & Forensics Team
 
 
Jean L. and Jones B. earned a superior distinction and a trophy from the Gig Harbor Tournament.
 
     
 

The first tournament for MRLH went really well! The Gig Harbor Invitational had students from 37 schools in attendance from all over Washington!

 
   
 

Students who won at least one forensics round:

 
  Chelsea G and Mariah S for varsity dual interpretation (an acting event)  
  David A for his novice original oratory (a persuasive speech)  
   
  Overall score receiving a superior distinction and a trophy  
  3rd place- Jones B for a varsity interpretive reading on procrastination  
 

1st place- Jean L for a novice interpretive reading on choices

 
   
 

6 students earned enough points to gain membership and a merit degree to the National Forensics League. (See NFL page for an update of NFL points.)

 
   
 

MRLH is an affiliate school of the National Forensics League (NFL.) The NFL is an education honor society for speech and debate. Students can earn a membership into the NFL by earning points at tournaments.
