Starkville Speech and Debate

Share

We are the Starkville High School Speech and Debate Team. We affirm the resolution, that debate is awesome.

Starkville Speech and Debate represents SHS and the Starkville-Oktibbeha County community in speech and debate competition across the state, region and nation. We compete in all debate, public speaking, and interpretation events offered by the NSDA and MHSAA. We teach students to combine analytical rigor with passionate advocacy. Our goal is to build champions in competition and in life.

If you volunteered for a late shift at the Speech and debate National Qualifier Debate Tournament, you are released from your obligation. We are pretty much done!

We are very short on volunteers. Please consider giving us a few hours of your time this weekend.

This school year I added 6-8 grade to our Yellow Jacket Speech and Debate Team. That means I’m coaching 6-12 grade across three different schools in the district. I am also working with MSMS, and that team has grown a lot this year.

I’m so excited that both teams are growing, but it means I need to ask for help. These kids are amazing and enthusiastic, but they can’t compete if we can’t find judges.

I’m desperate. I’m taking about 35 students to Oak Grove next weekend, and I need 10 more judges for Starkville and about 6-7 for MSMS. If I can’t find judges, I have to start taking kids out of events they’ve been working on for weeks.

If you are in the Hattiesburg area and are a high school graduate, please consider volunteering. You can do Friday and/or Saturday.
