FLINTHILLS FORENSICS WINS
2024 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Our Mighty FHS Speech Forensics Team took 1st at State Saturday, May 4th. With “GREAT TAKES GRIT” as their chosen theme, they brought home the Winning Trophy with a 44 point lead over the 2nd place school. Our students fought Kiowa and Sylvan Lucas all day, but after going into Semi-Finals in 2nd Place, the Mustangs jumped ahead following Semis. Coach Julie McCreight says, “Their drive, determination and focus brought home the win. You should have seen them. You would have been proud to be a Mustang. It was quite a day!”
