Great in debate
The Arcata High School Forensics Team performed well at the Northern California Ronald Reagan Debate Series regional invitational in Redding, with team captain Genevieve Caruso taking first place and advancing to the national competition. The team, coached by Aaron Donaldson, is the only competitive high school debate team in Humboldt County.
The Arcata High School Forensics Team excelled at the Northern California Ronald Reagan Debate Series regional invitational in Redding on April 11 at Simpson University. Team captain Genevieve Caruso, 18, took first place, while Jovanna Herrera secured second place. The debate topic was whether the Electoral College should be replaced by the popular vote in presidential elections. Caruso will now prepare for the national Ronald Reagan Debate Series competition in Simi Valley this summer, competing for a share of $50,000 in scholarship prizes. The AHS Forensics Team was formed this year and has three active members, with coach Aaron Donaldson noting that debate education teaches valuable skills such as public speaking, critical listening, and research capabilities. The team's achievement is considered historic, as it's the first time in decades that Arcata High has had a competitive debate team.
