*NEW* PUBLIC SPEAKING ADDED TO PROGRAM!: We have added Public Speaking to our Debate Program. Public speaking helps build the foundation of logic, confidence, and self-esteem. Students will learn communication skills that persuade and inspire! By laying the foundation for public speaking early, students will overcome the fear of speaking in public that even some adults experience.
