ABOUT THE TEAM
The Clearfield High Speech and Debate program has earned recognition from the National Speech and Debate Association as ranking in the top 20% of teams in America and also holds the highest amount of points earned over a five year period in our Region. The team is composed of a group of highly energetic students, and run by two dedicated coaches.
WHY JOIN?
Aside from bolstering the confidence of its members, Speech and Debate instills in its members a sense of purpose, leadership, and equips its members to be successful in each of these pursuits. Advocacy and communication are essential skills in almost every area of interaction, from your social life to the workplace. No matter what you wish to do in life, the ability to clearly articulate your ideas, to detect flaws in the reasoning of others, and arrive at solutions based on those factors, is essential to success. While it should also be stressed that those in the Speech and Debate Club work hard, its just as important to note that they play hard. Whether it’s playing games during down time at tournaments, sharing a laugh during practice, or interacting with others during socials, our program fosters a sense of community between members.
