Powell High’s Allie Gilliatt Secures Scholarship, Joins Casper College Forensics Team

Allie Gilliatt, a senior at Powell High School, has committed to join the Casper College Forensics team, known as the Talkin’ T-Birds, for the 2024-2025 academic year. She signed a letter of intent in the presence of the team's coaching staff, including Assistant Coach Ethan Fife and Head Coach Doug Hall. Gilliatt has been active in high school debate competitions.

Gilliatt decided to join the Talkin’ T-Birds after being influenced by the team's coaching style and communication strategies. Although she was not initially seeking a scholarship in speech and debate, the offer from Casper College's forensics coaches prompted her to reconsider. The scholarship will help cover her educational expenses and allow her to continue her debate activities.

Gilliatt also plans to study psychology at Casper College, aiming to become a child psychologist. This aligns with her academic interests and her desire to help others. The forensics scholarship will help alleviate her financial concerns, enabling her to concentrate on her studies.

During her time in high school, Gilliatt has achieved notable success in speech and debate, including a second-place finish in dramatic interpretation at the Wyoming State Speech and Debate Tournament in Cheyenne earlier this year. Her skills have made her a valuable addition to the Casper College team.
