MSCA Member Joni Anker Inducted into the National Forensic League (NFL) Hall of Fame.

Joni Anker has been named a National Forensic League (NFL) National Hall of Fame Member.  It is a terrific honor.  Out of tens of thousands of past and current NFL coaches, only 158 have earned a place in the NFL Hall of Fame. Other members from MN are Mel Olson (who did much of his work in Arizona but moved back here in retirement) and Pam Cady Wycoff – that’s it!

Joni has been an English and Speech Teacher in District 196 since 1977.  She taught at both Apple Valley High School where she was an assistant Speech Coach until 1987 when she became the Head Speech Coach.  In 1989 she moved to Eagan High School to build a new Speech Team program from the ground up.  Her teams of 100+ speakers hold many honors and awards and she has been named to the Minnesota State HS League Hall of Fame, the MSCA Outstanding Individual in Speech Award and recently, her fourth diamond for coaching from the NFL.  EHS is one of the top 4 Speech and Debate high schools in the nation with many outstanding student winners at State and National tournaments.
