SPEECH & DEBATE CLUB/TEAM

SPEECH & DEBATE TEAM


The Speech and Debate Team is a group of students who engage in competitive dramatic performance, public speaking, and debate events. They compete at least five tournaments a season across Louisiana.

In the spring, students must complete a tryout process to determine membership to the team. Students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average, have no referrals, and must sign a contract outlining membership details. Team members are expected to enroll in the debate class and to participate in after school practices. Dues are $40 which includes membership fees to both the national and state speech and debate organizations.
