Prattville Program is Nationally Recognized

The Prattville High School speech and debate program has earned significant recognition by the National Forensic League. Because our chapter received 100 degrees or more last year, it has been placed in the top 10% of NFL chapters nationwide and earned membership in the NFL's prestigious 100 Club.

Congratulations to all involved!!!
