Coaches,

The Carrollton High School Speech and Debate Team is happy to announce Peach State 2022, which will be held in-person at Carrollton High School except for our Public Forum (PF) events.

Public Forum will function as a hybrid, which will give opportunity for debate for both our in-person attendees and online participants.

If a Public Forum debate team comes in-person to Carrollton High School, they will be assigned a room in the school from which they can debate–debates will then function completely on NSDA Campus. The same will occur for Public Forum judges, and any judges who are in-person at Carrollton High School will be assigned a room in the school.

Any Public Forum debaters who do not attend the in-person tournament–the event will function as a normal online tournament. All Public Forum rounds, regardless of in-person attendance, will be published on NSDA Campus and all Public Forum debates will take place online.  If you have questions, email:  Richard.Bracknell@carrolltoncityschools.net
