Clarksburg High School's award-winning speech team!
What We Do
It's not science.
Despite the fact we do public speaking for fun, we're really not cutthroat/competitive as we sound. The Clarksburg High School Forensics Team specializes in various speech topics, such as interpretation, speech-writing, and argument-building. Don't worry; it's not as scary as it seems. Other than competing for awards, forensics speech prepares our team for public speaking in the real world and helps build us to become more articulate and confident.
​
As of 2019, Clarksburg Forensics is the fifth-best school in the county, and is a nationally recognized school in the National Speech and Debate League!
