Speech and Debate

Interested in TRYING OUT for the 7th and 8th grade Deal debate team?  Tryouts are taking place Tuesday at 3:30 pm in room R103. Students will be required to read a short sample of evidence and write an essay during the 45-minute period.  No advanced preparation is necessary.  Please bring a writing implement!   Unfortunately, there will not be an opportunity outside of Tuesday's tryout to be considered for the team.

Results of tryouts will be posted outside R103 by Friday after 4th period.

Please note, those students who gained membership to the National Speech and Debate honor society prior to June 2023 do not need to tryout but must come by R103 between 3:45 and 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday to register for the current school year.
