Welcome to a new year of debate!
We hope that your first impressions of speech and debate have been nothing but wonderful. However, aside from just being involved in the camp, this website is here to help you with your debate experience. At the top you may have noticed tabs with multiple features, and although the function of the majority of these is fairly obvious, two of the more interactive features, "Forum" and "Research" are specifically there to help you.
The Forum is a place where you can post and reply to mulitple topics, some concerning speech and debate and some that simply serve the purpose of making it just a bit more entertaining. Explore the feature, you'll be able to use it for help with multiple speech or debate needs.
The Research feature contains a list of websites that are very useful for new (and experienced) debaters. Research is not posted here, simply the links to which you can do your own research on.
Don't be shy about using the website, it's completely for your benefit.

With what had become known as our dream team, the 2006-2007 debaters finished 5th in the state. They sent three people to the final round, and earned 24 sweepstakes points.
In the 2007-2008 4A state speech tournament on Saturday, our team finished 3rd in the state. We sent 6 people to final rounds, two of those people in both pattern A and pattern B. Finally, we about doubled our point total at the tournament from last year. Snohomish finished top three in every category in which it competes (LD, PF, Congress, Speech). It was a great performance, and every team member should be proud of it.
The 4A state debate tournament was held on the previous Saturday, and was also extremely successful for Snohomish. We had a 3rd place placing in Lincoln-Douglas, Student Congress, and Public Forum, in addition to a finalist in congress. To put that into perspective, no other team finished in the top three in four categories, or even three, and only three teams finished top three in two categories (Mercer, Gig, and Mt. Vernon). These two tournaments alloted Snohomish enough trophies to bring us to a team total of 371 for the year, another astonishing figure.
Now the team's focus will turn to the national tournament. We will not be attending the Kamiak Nat Quals Prep Congress, nor hosting the Parliamentary tournament this year. The national tournament will be held in Las Vegas at the end of the school year. There will also be officer/captain elections for the 2008-2009 season held very soon. Be thinking about whether or not you'd like to run, and be a leader for your team next year.
Congratulations to everyone, it's been a great year.
