Congratulations to this year’s academy forensics finalists! Students who were the top scorers in individual classrooms advanced to the finals. Elementary students participated in a exhibition in front of peers and parents. Middle school students competed in a competition. This year’s competition was close with many phenomenal performances!
Parents often echo that doing forensics at such a young age is something unique to Everest. While public-speaking nerves may never completely go away, by the time an Everest student graduates high school they have a wealth of public-speaking experience.
