Thomas S. Foley Honorary Forensics Tournament

The University High School Titan Debate Team takes great pleasure in inviting you to the annual Thomas S. Foley Honorary Forensics Tournament!

As the name suggests, this tournament is held in recognition and in honor of Tom Foley's many years of service to Washington State and the United States as a representative from the 5th District, as Speaker of The House of Representatives, and as Ambassador to Japan. The tournament features a student congress competition, several special speech and debate activities, and traditional Washington State forensics events. It is our sincere hope that this tournament will provide you and your students with an enjoyable weekend of competition.
