Updated for 97-98 Eau Claire North High School has a tradition of having one of the finest forensics programs in the state of Wisconsin. We have won numerous awards and students from North consistently represent Wisconsin at the national tournament. Read about the Oratory Dynasty for more. There are 15 categories - 7 interperative and 8 speech. After preparing and practicing with a coach, students compete at tournaments by performing in front of a judge and other competitors for 3 or more rounds.
Students often compete in more than one category per tournament.
Competitors are ranked and scored, and the top finishers within the same category compete in the final rounds. This web site presents some of the events, achievements, and people of the North High forensics program. There's a few inside jokes that won't be understood unless you were at the event, but hopefully you can see that we're a talented and fun group.
