Topics: We will use the December topics for all debate and extemporaneous speaking events.

COVID: Competitors and coaches are not required to wear masks or social distance, but these measures are perfectly acceptable. Please remind your students to respect the wishes of some in our community and avoid awkwardness by refraining from shaking hands or moving within three feet of judges when possible.
