We are an organization of high school students in Austin, Texas, who compete in speech, debate, and drama events and activities all over the state of Texas and parts of the nation. We are proud members of the National Forensic League (NFL) and the Texas Forensic Association (TFA), and we also compete in the University Interscholastic League (UIL).

We are located in the Heart of Texas NFL District and were able to qualify six of our squad members to attend NFL's 1999 Dessert Sun Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona, this past summer.
