Following the recent district events in March, Speech and Debate prepares to participate in state and national tournaments in the weeks ahead.
“Our team this year has definitely been a lot different, but in a positive way,” Speech and Debate Officer Vanessa Ng said. “We have diversified our entries and grown a lot in numbers as compared to last year. We have had a lot of dedicated individuals who have stepped up or improved significantly from last year.”
State competitions will be on April 24-25, in Springfield. This year, the national Speech and Debate competition will be June 14-19, in Richmond, Virginia.
“I’ve seen a lot of progress, not only in myself, but with the team as a whole,” Speech and Debate member Prakul Bhattarai said. “On the season as a whole, I’ve really enjoyed my time on the team and the expansion of our team this year and the new members have made the year a very memorable one.”
