Speech Department
Forensics Team
The Saddleback Forensics Team attends many tournaments throughout California and across the nation competing in both Individual Events and Debate. Our team is nationally recognized for our students’ competitive success, as well as our commitment to maintaining a team that views competition as an engagement that demands dedication, respect, and ethical behavior.
After having competed for our team, we hope our students have learned to better develop innovative arguments for future writing and speaking engagements, to strenghten their critical thinking skills, and to better communicate with others. We value the work of our competitors, as they are continually teaching the team new ways of looking at the world by bringing their own diverse experiences and unique opinions to our team. At Saddleback College, the coaches and facultymembers feel extremely privileged and honored to be able to continue to provide a space for our competitors to learn how to become better speakers, writers, and students!
