Collierville
High Hosted 2011 Annual Tournament
The annual
Collierville High School speech and debate tournament is one of the most widely
attended in the state, drawing schools from the tri-state area. The 21st version
of this event was held on December 3rd. Competitors from 24 schools
attended, and all-in-all, more than 600 competitors, parents, and judges were
in Collierville High that Saturday.
It was a wild
success! We want to express our sincerely gratitude to all the parents and
students volunteering that day. Those who prepared food, came set up the rooms,
judged, cleaned up after a very long day… Your
effort is greatly appreciated! Everyone’s continued support is what makes
our event special.
Of course our
kids also gained valuable experience in running a huge event like this. Thanks again!
Happy
New Year!
