Speech & Debate Competition Results
We have a wonderful and talented speech and debate team right here at Centennial. They are a friendly and welcoming bunch. They recently had their 1st competition on the 5th of October, in which many placed within the top ten.
This year their team captain is Shelby Colt. She was the only one to place first in this round, taking the spotlight in informative. She says, “I was going against last year’s state champion and I didn’t expect to beat him. I feel really proud of myself for putting in the effort and I feel very motivated to keep doing well.”
