Season Kick-off Meetings!
Welcome back to the school year! The coaches and student officers are excited to welcome everyone back to the competitive season with two upcoming kick-off meetings coming up soon. Both meetings will begin in room 164 after school.
- Tuesday, September 26 is our special meeting for all returning members. Any team member grades 10-12 who was on the team last year is invited to attend. We’ll be discussing the new season, giving out important information and schedules, setting goals for the year, and training to help welcome our new members at the next meeting
- Thursday, September 28 is our official season kick-off meeting for all new and returning members. We invite everyone to come and check out our team, meet the coaches and student officers, find out what speech and debate is and why it’s worth your time, and learn about our different events.

Election Slate
The election slate is posted here:
2017-18 Speech & Debate Election Slate
Please read each candidate’s statement before choosing which to vote for.
We are very pleased with the number of team members who decided to run for officer positions. However, due to the unexpected number of candidates, we will be reserving the candidates’ forum for executive positions (president, speech VP, debate VP, comms VP). The forum for all captain positions will take place online on the team Facebook page.
Notes about voting:
- Certain positions can only be voted on by team members of a certain constituency. For example, an interp team member can vote for president, speech VP, comms VP, and interp captain. They cannot vote for debate-specific positions.
- If a team member has competed in multiple events at least twice this year, they may vote in both constituencies.
- Finally, Congress team members may vote for all executive positions and LPPAC captain.
See you at the candidates’ forum, Thursday at lunch in B164.
2016-17 Interest Meeting
We will be hosting a lunchtime interest meeting for current 9-11 graders interested in learning more about Forensics/Speech and Debate. Please feel free to stop by with friends and spread the word – there will be food, and no commitments are necessary. Come learn about what we do, why we do it, and what you might be good at in B164 at lunch on Thursday June 2.
