NFL Key LogoThe National Forensic League (NFL) -- founded in 1925 at Ripon College (WI) -- is the leading honor society and educational resource in the exciting field of speech and debate education. With over 2,700 member schools and 90,000 active student members, the NFL provides educational opportunities, honors, scholarships, and awards that recognize students at local, regional, and national levels.

Rufus King's NFL Chapter has a proud history spanning nearly a quarter-century.  In 2005, our chapter ascended to membership in the elite "200 Club" for merit/degrees, and had an "All American," Samuel Daly (top 25 merit-point earning students in the nation). Today, our chapter boasts the third-ranked student in the nation -- Eva Lam -- (out of 90,000 students in the country).  At the 2005 national tournament, Eva Lam '06 won the Congress - House of Representatives championship as well as presiding officer award, and Sam Daly '05 -- a four-year qualifier -- placed 6th in the Senate.  Kyle Szarzynski '05 advanced to semi-finals.  Overall, our program won a "Schwan's School of Excellence in Debate" award for achievement in Student Congress.  Director of Forensics Adam Jacobi -- a King forensics alum -- is active with the NFL at the national tournament, and with associated international outreach programs.
