CHS to Host Cabot Classic

Cabot High School will host the annual Cabot Classic Forensics & Debate tournament this weekend (Jan 27 & Jan 28) for grades 7 through 12.  More than 1,000 students from twenty-nine schools in Arkansas will compete in this tournament in debate, public speaking, interpretation, and acting events.

Cabot High School Forensics and Debate students will not compete in this event; rather, they are in charge of running every aspect of the tournament. They accept and confirm entries, run the concession stand in the cafeteria, accept ballots, assign judges to rooms, manage the official timekeepers, and even officiate the awards assembly at the end of the tournament.

Cabot's two junior highs and freshman academy will compete against each other but in junior high divisions only. There will be five other junior highs competing against Cabot in that division.

Many community members and alumni played an active role, volunteering to serve in the cafeteria and judges lounge, or coming in as guest judges. The Cabot Forensics & Debate program is very grateful to all those who gave of their time to assist with this ambitious endeavor!
