We welcome everyone to join us on October 21st at Summit High School for a day of learning for both students, parents, coaches and educators. The first half of the day will feature workshops for those new to speech and debate activities! In addition, we will have teacher and judge workshops for those who would like to learn how they can share in New Jersey speech and debate activities.

Summit High School will once again offer their ‘suit swap’ where students can donate their old suits and/or pick up a new-ish one at a great price!!

Lunch and snacks will be sold at the event. Our teachers, coaches and judges will be provided lunch free-of-charge.
