President’s Welcome Letter

I’m thrilled to be serving as the President of the L.C. Anderson High School Speech and Debate Team this year. Whether you’re a seasoned debater, a passionate orator, or someone just beginning to explore the world of competitive speech, I’m excited to welcome you to our community.

Every round, every argument, every speech is an opportunity to not only showcase our skills but also to push our limits and grow together. We are committed to excellence and to fostering an environment where every member can excel and achieve their personal best.

This year, we have a strategic vision focused on enhancing our competitive edge and expanding our reach. We’re not just aiming to win tournaments; we’re dedicated to building a team that supports each other, hones our craft, and continually raises the bar. From classroom instruction and practice sessions to innovative strategies and team-building activities, we’re laying the groundwork for a standout season.

But beyond the competition, what truly makes our team special is the camaraderie and support we offer one another. We’re a diverse group united by a shared passion for speech and debate, and I believe our best results come from lifting each other up and celebrating our collective achievements.

I encourage everyone to get involved, take on new challenges, and contribute to our team’s success. A big Thank You to the L.C. Anderson Speech and Debate Booster Club! Together, let’s make this year unforgettable!

Here’s to a fantastic season ahead!

Best regards,

Nathaniel Watkins

President, Speech and Debate Team 2024 – 2025
