Niwot High School // Niwot Colorado
"Speech and Debate taught me courage, generosity, and an understanding that diversity makes us strong. Our voices, are what connects us; and this activity allows me to spread the message" - National Speech and Debate Association.
The Niwot Forensics (Speech and Debate) team is a motivated, determined, and focused group of individuals who compete in Public Speaking competitions through different sectors of events: Debate, Speech, and Interpretation. Our team has received regional, state, and national recognition.
The Speech and Debate team is registered as a semester-long course in the fall semester and then transitions into a club in the spring semester. In class, our team dedicates time to practicing our pieces, providing feedback and discussion, and getting to know each other.

The tournaments we compete in are associated with Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) and more specifically, the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). Forensics tournaments take place on Saturdays (typically for the whole day) at any Colorado high school that serves as the host of the tournament. High school teams from all over Colorado compete in these tournaments.
