The WFCA's mission is "to instill and develop in students communication skills vital for a lifetime of effective participation in a democratic society." To that end, the WFCA promotes the interests of Wisconsin interscholastic forensics by assisting in the regulation and improvement of forensic practices and by serving as a forum for the airing of opinions concerning forensic activities. Member schools receive notices of invitational tournaments through an official mailing list. The season culminates with the State Tournament, open to every member school. Read more ...

Scholarships and Coaching Awards
The deadline is quickly approaching for applications for the WFCA student scholarships and nominations for the Hintz Award, Hall of Fame Award, and Retirement Awards.
We will be awarding six $1000 scholarships to high school seniors from WFCA member schools. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Inc. has granted the association $5000. The sixth scholarship, the Marie Chelmo Scholarship, is awarded to a student from a school with an enrollment of less than 1000 students.
More detailed information and links to download the forms are available here:
All completed forms must be postmarked by March 1 and mailed to:
Jodi Becker WFCA Past President c/o Berlin High School 222 Memorial Drive Berlin, WI 54923
If you know of any coach who is retiring at the end of this school year, please complete that form and send it along. We would like to have those by March 1, but realize that not all retirements are known by then. Pass along retirements as you know them and we'll recognize them at the spring business meeting.
Best of luck to all during the 2010 season! Sincerely, Jodi Becker
