WHAT'S HAPPENING
Tell Your Story; Help Our Cause » We need your help to raise awareness of speech and debate at a local and national level! Telling your story is the best way to advocate for speech and debate. Please consider participating in this alumni survey, which will be used in the dissertation research of three-diamond coach J. Scott Baker. The results will be shared with our organization to help us advocate for speech and debate activities! Thank you in advance for taking time to reflect on your middle school or high school years with us. The survey is open through November 20. Get started by clicking here.
