We've seen the creation of a new academic program and seasoned programs winning championships. Against declines in higher education trends, PHC opened a new dorm last spring and enrolled a record freshman class last August. We have celebrated several alumni accomplishments this year as well.  In this New Year's Eve reflection, we revisit the top news stories that shaped the year at PHC—articles that illustrate what God can do with a few who are committed to faithfully preparing the next generation of leaders *for Christ and for Liberty!*  So, whether you’ve followed along all year or are just discovering these stories, join us in celebrating the moments that made 2024 a year to remember. Here’s to looking back with gratitude and looking forward with anticipation as we head into a new year of opportunity and growth at Patrick Henry College!   ![Divider Line](https://www.phc.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Divider%20Line.png?width=2000&height=125&name=Divider%20Line.png) ##### [Students fight for life](https://www.phc.edu/learnphc/culture-of-light-and-life) [Enjoy this powerful recap of the 2024 March for Life event in Washington, D.C.] To be pro-life is to champion the dignity of every human being in every stage of development and in every condition of life. To be pro-life is to combat the lie that a person's age, or socioeconomic status, or ethnicity, or origin, or position, or title or anything else in any way apportions their value.  It has been two-and-a-half years since Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization—when the states reclaimed legislative power on the abortion issue. For the pro-life community at PHC, the job is not done. Dobbs was a victory, but not the final victory.  Last winter break, students from Patrick Henry College campaigned with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

Launched in June, Patrick Henry College announces its very first free, online video course, The Imago Dei. This course examines the idea that human beings are created in the image of God. If we’re made in God’s image, that changes how we should live. It helps us think wisely about the most controversial issues of our day. [![Register for Imago Dei](https://www.phc.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/imago%20dei%20(4).png?width=362&height=110&name=imago%20dei%20(4).png)](https://www.phc.edu/imagodei) --- ##### Another record year for the nation's premier forensics program  ![Mock Trial (2)](https://www.phc.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/Mock%20Trial%20(2).png?width=714&height=402&name=Mock%20Trial%20(2).png) Forensics is training in the art of advocacy and hones a student’s skills in research, critical thinking, and communication. From the Latin term forensic, which means “of a forum or place of assembly,” forensics competition prepares students to excel in the public arena by teaching them to think deeply, speak articulately, and write persuasively; skills which will enable them to be effective ambassadors for Christ as they engage our culture with compassion and integrity. At Patrick Henry College, we focus on three main styles of presentation: civic debate (argumentation concerning current events and issues impacting society), moot court (appellate legal advocacy as before the Supreme Court), and mock trial (trial advocacy, with students portraying witnesses and attorneys in a trial setting). The 2023-2024 season God’s goodness surrounded the Patrick Henry College forensics program this year, enabling our students and coaches to achieve remarkable success as they used their talents for His glory. We are thankful for the investment of our coaches—many of them alumni—as they guided our students in developing godly character and winsome communication. We celebrate His care and give Him the glory for the blessings He bestowed. The program continues to grow in both size and impact. PHC trained and developed over 130 competitive orators in a single year, the largest forensics program in the nation. Last year the Moot Court Program fielded 45 in-house teams and 18 travel teams, Mock Trial fielded 4 in-house teams and 3 travel teams, and our Debate Program fielded over 30 competitors in various in-house and travel teams.  Civic Debate: 1st place win [![debate-2](https://www.phc.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/debate-2.png?width=293&height=293&name=debate-2.png)](https://www.phc.edu/news/paris-debate-win) Debaters Hannah Bruck, Eden Mackie, and Josiah Todd won 1st place in the Transatlantic Dialogues International debate competition in Paris, France on June 24. “Their performance in the final round was the best I had seen them perform over the course of the year to date,” debate coach Ryan McDonald (APP, ’16) said. Three PHC freshmen were declared the Novice Division Champions at the Social Justice Fall Championship. Additionally, PHC took 2nd and 1st place at the Miami Oceans Debates. PHC debaters also brought home the gold in the IPDA Online National Championship!

PHC teams earned 13 bids to the new middle level of the National Championship (“Preliminary Nationals”); one more than the maximum allotment of 12. Our Pre-Nats teams earned seven spots to the National Championship, three more than the maximum of four allotted per school. In the National Championship Oral Advocacy competition, all four teams advanced to elimination rounds. Calvin Huh and Trinity Klomparens earned 1st place in Brief Writing, and Ainsley Stellman and Jason Chahyadi earned 2nd place for Oral Advocacy.
