Webb City High School speech and debate team advances in international competition

(From the Webb City R-7 School District)

This year the Webb City High School Speech and Debate Team is making history by competing internationally for the first time. 

A team of 3 seniors, Bria Brattin, Evan Garrison, and McKenzie Jones, entered the International Public Policy Forum Competition and have advanced to the top 64 policy debate teams in the world out of 22 nations and 31 US states. 

They are the only team from Missouri to qualify and will continue to fight for a chance to compete in New York in May as one of the top 8 teams worldwide. We are beyond proud of these hardworking groundbreakers!
