After competing at the West Kansas National Qualifying Tournament, all of Pratt High s forensics kids who made it into semi-finals will be going to nationals competition. On Friday, April 16th and Saturday, April 17th, sophomore Alyssa Green and senior Hogan Thompson competed through five rounds to earn 1st at the qualifier, which will propel them into the NSDA virtual nationals tourney.
Other students also earned top medals to qualify for nationals. Senior Colby Barradas earned #2 in Program Oral Interpretation (POI) and #3 in Humorous Interpretation, but since he had to choose only one primary event to bring (part of the NSDA rules), he chose POI. This senior made it to NSDA s virtual competition last year in 2020 at the national level, and with a Dramatic Interp, he made it past all of the preliminary rounds and into the top 60 nationwide. He s hoping to best that placement this year with his POI about the pandemic.

Despite the uncertainty of this year, the students and staff at Pratt High School are determined to maintain a safe, fun, Winter Homecoming. This year’s festivities are set to take place Friday, February 5 with coordinators Rayna Bolen, the art teacher at PHS, and Joy Schmidt, the Pep Club sponsor, working to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
This year, they hope things will run smoothly, though they may look a little different. Bolen said that usually, she and her art students would be making the elaborate decorations that are such a big part of the assembly.
