Speech & Debate
Parkway West Speech & Debate Annual Tournament
The Parkway West Speech and Debate Team is hosting our annual Fall Classic Speech and Debate tournament this October 20th and 21st! We request assistance from all Parkway community adults —parents, grandparents, and high school graduates— to volunteer their time to judge. Judges will watch a variety of performances done by high schoolers across the St. Louis area and vote on their favorites. Your support not only motivates our students to take on the responsibility of hosting a tournament, but it also encourages young adults to build their public speaking, argumentation, and persuasion skills in a fun and competitive way.
