The Academy of St. Joseph of the Palisades Forensics Program gives students in Grades 6–8 the opportunity to strengthen their public speaking, critical thinking, confidence, and communication skills through academic competition.

​

Students prepare and present speeches, dramatic readings, and other performance pieces while learning teamwork, leadership, and professionalism. Through practices and competitions with other schools, students build confidence speaking in front of others and develop skills that will benefit them both inside and outside of the classroom.

​

Our Forensics Program encourages creativity, discipline, and self-expression while helping students grow into confident and respectful young leaders. Competitions, such as those held at Union Catholic High School, allow students to showcase their talents and represent our school community with pride.
