Ranney Wins Multiple Awards At Spring Forensics Festival

The Middle School Forensics Team once again rose to the challenge, taking home the lion’s share of awards at the Ranney hosted Spring Forensics Festival, held on April 18 in RSPA Panther Hall. Students from St. Jerome School in Long Branch and St. Veronica School in Howell joined Ranney forensics students from grades seven through nine at the competition.

The event was judged by performing arts professionals from the Count Basie Theater, Two River Theater, Actors’ Playground Acting School, Algonquin Arts Center and the English Speaking Union. While the Forensics competition season is not yet over, support from Nancy Wade, Middle School dean of students, and coaching by teachers John Doyle, Allison Reddington, Fran Reinhold, and Cheryl Fricchione has helped make this one of the most successful years to date for the Middle School Forensics Team.
