Upper School Places in Speech and Debate Tournament
Ranney School's Speech and Debate Club competed at Freehold Township High School's NJ Speech and Debate Association League Tournament this past Saturday, January 11. With four students competing in Speech events and six Public Forum Debate teams, this was the largest delegation we've brought to any tournament.
A special thank you is in order for our parent judge volunteers Suzanne Gooler (mother of Brielle Polizzano '22) and Ed Scott (father of Tucker Scott '22). And very special congratulations go to co-captain Olivia Knoop ‘20 for her second place finish in her second round for her Informative Speech "What Makes A Psychopath?"
This was the team's second tournament of the year. They will be headed to Ridge High School at the end of the month for a third tournament.
