PHS honored by Forensics League

Posted February 08, 2010 10:00 pm

Prospect High School's speech team has recently been granted charter membership in the National Forensic League. This significant distinction is the highest school membership honor in the NFL.

As a charter member, Prospect has demonstrated excellence in attaining new members and degrees. Prospect's head coach is English teacher Jeremy Morton.

The NFL is a nonpartisan, not for profit educational honor society, established to train high school students in the forensic arts: debate, public speaking, and the interpretation of literature.

The NFL believes that all students should become effective communicators, ethical individuals, critical thinkers, and leaders in a democratic society. Currently, more than 93,000 high school students and 7,000 teachers are members.
