Forensics team returns from finals with multiple championships

The Upper School forensics team returned from state finals last weekend with three event championships in their pockets—as well as an overall team division championship.

The Michigan Interscholastic Forensics Association Individual Events tournament, held this year at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, also saw all 33 members of the team qualify for the semi-finals, and 24 move on to the finals. It was the second time since 1994 that every member of the Greenhills team qualified for the semi-finals.
