OHS Speech and Debate

We rounded off the school year with our end of year ceremony! We celebrated all the amazing things our members have accomplished, said farewell to our seniors, and welcomed in our new presidents, Hugh Wilson & Sasha McGinness.

We’re so incredibly proud of this team and all that they do. Seniors, we know you all will do great things and we know you all will carry the legacy and make us proud. Nationals 🔜!!!

Once again, we are so proud of this team and everything they do! We rounded out the regular season with some awesome wins with even better teammates. We can’t wait to see how they do at nationals, and we can’t wait to see what the next season has in store for them. ⚡️💙
