As the Carson High School Speech and Debate team concluded a successful and busy season, they celebrated seven students qualifying for the National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa.

These students have a once in a lifetime opportunity to network with other competitors, hear from impactful speakers, and represent Carson City on the national level. The following students qualified and will be competing for a spot on the final stage in June:

Kaden Sa and Chelsea Empeno – Duo Interpretation
Claire Dillon and Lillian Barker – Duo Interpretation
Thomas Lance – Foreign Extemporaneous Speaking
Alexis Ropp – Lincoln Douglas Debate

The team will spend a week competing against the best of the best, learning about presentation, and making lasting memories.
