Forensics / Speech and Debates
Cathedral Prep’s Speech and Debate (Forensics) team is continuing to be a hallmark of greatness in our school’s history, and we are continuing to reach out to and invite talented students to join us this year!
Forensics is a competitive interscholastic activity that allows our students to participate in the great arts of rhetoric and oratory, developing skills in argumentation, persuasion, acting, and critical thinking. In addition, Forensics students have the opportunity to meet, socialize, and build friendships and networks with students from across the local Forensics league and beyond at competitions
Head Coach: Kevin Sue-A-Quan '13
