Speech and Debate News

On January 28, iLEAD (NoHo and SCVi) attended a speech and debate tournament at Saugus.

We sent 22 competitors and 21 returned with awards. It was, by far, the most dominant performance at any league congress tournament in over a decade.

We’re grateful to this community for allowing educational public speaking to thrive!
