Willie Warren, Administration

Willie Warren is the successful head coach at East Chapel Hill High School. He proudly points to legendary Lincoln Douglas Debate Coach Marilee Duke as his mentor, under whose direction he became an outstanding educator. Willie served as Assistant Director of Lincoln Douglas Debate at the University of Iowa Debate Institute (2001-2005) and as Director of the Samford University Debate Institute (2004-2006).

Safety is Key

At the Florida Forensic Institute, the safety and well-being of our participants is a top priority. Therefore, we have taken a different approach to security than most summer programs. Our campus is staffed with security personnel, and the residential facility has security staff 24 hours-a-day. Outside of class, students are supervised by degree-holding senior staff, rather than college-age junior staff. An integral part of our security and safety initiative is our Dorm Mom, Kristie Taylor and Dorm Dad, Willie Warren.  Read more about their credentials on the staff page.
