Start times will stay the same; 4:00pm @ Jackson Heights & 4:30pm @ Maur-Hill. This will cause the rest of the Games to start about 30 minutes earlier than normal.

The HHS Forensics team travelled to Riverside High School in Wathena on Saturday, February 10. The team was very successful. They finished first as a team out of 11 schools.

As a team, there were 7 state qualifing performances. In order to qualify for state in May in Wichita, students must place first or second in their respective events.
