Welcome to the first annual Speech State Classic!

Hosted by your friends at IPOD in the Peach State

ATTENTION! We have decided to add Parli to our tournament to make up for the weather cancellation at Salt & Light. Please note the modified schedule to accomodate the added rounds. We look forward to giving students another chance to get those Parli checks and Speech checks!
