Mitchell is a member of the NFL (National Forensics League).  Mitchell's Forensics Team competes in local and state competitions. Competitions take place at area high schools.  There are three rounds and usually two waves per round then a finals round.  Competitions often last from about 7:00 a.m. to 6:00-7:00 p.m. (depending on delays and awards ceremonies).  Awards are given to all who made it to the final rounds. 

    Members compete in several different styles of forensics including:  drama interpretation (our most popular area), humor interpretation, debate, duo interpretation,  original oratory, and poetry interpretation.  

The parents, students and staff of Mitchell High School believe that all students will learn in our safe, academically rigorous environment, which is driven by high expectations and standards-based instruction. Our Staff will work with parents and community members in developing students who are responsible, literate and caring citizens. 

We value our diverse student body. We will collaborate in our learning community to address the various educational needs of our students. We accept no excuses for failure as we prepare students for post-secondary experiences.
