Congratulations to our dynamic forensics team for winning the community college national championship at two national tournaments in Illinois during mid-March. At the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence, the team had the ninth-ranked debate pair in the nation, an intense competition that included all two- and four-year institutions. Additionally, the El Camino team won the National Parliamentary Debate Association's season-long sweepstakes in both the two-year and four-year divisions, meaning El Camino beat every university in the country!
Debate students are coached by professor Francesca Bishop, director of forensics, and debate professors Mark Crossman and Joseph Evans, as well as assistant coach Brittany Hubble.
