They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For the Speech & Debate club at Florida Virtual School, words are a very powerful tool that speak for themselves!
On the surface, a Speech & Debate team is the perfect opportunity for students to improve their communication skills, sharpen their critical thinking abilities, and prepare for college and the workforce. But for the FLVS Speech & Debate club, it’s much more.
Here students are encouraged to find their voices and use them to truly connect with others—no matter where they’re located. And they’re driven by a passion for communication. This is an important art in a world where so many of our interactions happens virtually.
“The ability to speak to each other regardless of location has truly encouraged more to join than in- person teams,” shared club President Madisyn. As a first year FLVS student, she quickly found community with the online club after leaving her brick-and-mortar school and its speech & debate team during the pandemic.
