Indiana High School Forensics Association

Encyclopedia : I : IN : IND : Indiana High School Forensics Association


The Indiana High School Forensic Association, or IHSFA, is a speech and debate organization which works to improve, coordinate, and expand speech programs in the High Schools of Indiana. Any private or public High School or formally organized Home School Consortium may join the association and compete in the tournaments it sponsors.[#endnote_IHSFAConst]

While not directly linked to the National Forensic League (e.g., winning the IHSFA championship tournament will not qualify one to the NFL national championships), it sponsors competition in all of the standard NFL events. It also adds a few events not sponsored by the NFL.
