The Speech and Debate Team is open to all high school students (9th-12th grades).
For the 2023-2024 academic year, there is a debate class during 6th period. If you are interested in team activities but don't have 6th period free, stop by Mrs. Cimino's classroom (Room 107) and introduce yourself! While enrolling in the class is helpful, it is not required to join the team and participate.
Events include:
Public Forum Debate (two-person teams)
Lincoln-Douglas Debate (one-person teams)
Impromptu Speaking
Extemporaneous Speaking
Original Oratory
Informational Speaking
Many students also compete in local speaking events through the American Legion and Sons of the American Revolution. See Mrs. Cimino if you are interested in these oratory contests.
