Myers Park Speech and Debate Team

Visited South Meck HS for the first time since CMS hosted the NFL National Speech and Debate Tournament in 2002 yesterday! Last summer the Inaugural CHARLOTTE SPEAKS camp hosted students from several schools without competitive programs to bring debate to the entire Charlotte community--excited to see those students go back to their home schools and advocate for programs. Look for West Meck, South Meck, Ballantyne Ridge, Charlotte Country Day Middle School, and the Palisades to enter their first tournaments this fall! Myers Park is proud to be their mentor program.

Off in the morning to the National Speech & Debate Association National event. Myers Park is proud to be bringing participants in all 5 debate events: public forum, Lincoln Douglas, policy debate, Big questions, and Congressional debate. Add in 3 speakers and we are quite the crowd to wrangle. Hope to see many of my friends along the way!

An amazing day!
