Club Leader Katherine Burch joined speech and debate her junior year of high school, but her dad’s military move ended her participation. Twenty-six years later, she was a community judge and learned about home-school speech and debate. Her 13 year old son was hooked. All five of her children have competed, developing into confident, poised speakers. This is her seventh year as a parent-coach. It is her passion to see every student grow in competence and confidence in speech and debate.
