WHO IS FORENSICS FOR?
Forensics is for hard-working, focused, self-motivated students who are driven to be successful and always looking to improve themselves. It fits well with other clubs, activities, and sports since you set your own practice schedule.
WHY DO FORENSICS?
Experience in forensics is a great addition to college and scholarship applications. Forensics can help seasoned performers get better or can help those scared of public speaking overcome their fear. Forensics will help build your confidence as a speaker, a performer and a student. Forensics is a great way to make friends and create lasting memories!
