Message from your 2021 - 2022 Captains: 

We're so proud of everything this team has accomplished this year! After a difficult couple of seasons being online, this team continues to amaze us with their passion, dedication, and power. We also want to extend a big thank you to all the families and friends who have supported us along the way.

Please join us for our annual Spring Showcase on March, 26th! (more information below)

Who are we?

To be on the team, competitors must be enrolled in the fall course, known as Speech and Debate 2 (In the spring, we become an after-school program). This class is designed to offer direct instruction in competitive speech and debate events. The variety of competition offerings allows for students with diverse interests/skills to discover the events with which they are compatible. This course is devoted to competition preparation and is structured according to speaking events officially recognized by the National Speech & Debate Association. Students do extensive research and are required to attend and participate in events held outside of school hours. This course is offered to freshmen through seniors. The competitive season runs August to April, and for those competing at Nationals, to June. (S&D 2 satisfies UC/CSU g-elective)
