Welcome

Welcome to the

2023 MHSAA State Congress

Competition

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all of our MHSAA Schools, Participants, and Coaches:

The Mississippi High School Activities Association welcomes everyone to the MHSAA State Congress Competition for the 2022-2023 school year!

Our speech and debate competition continues to be one of the top events on the MHSAA calendar, including more than 20 separate state championships in activities and sports. The opportunity for our students in Mississippi to participate in this contest helps enhance the educational experience for all involved. MHSAA is proud to host this event at Millsaps College on April 21-22, and we will do our part to ensure this event is safe as well as a success.

Congratulations to all speech and debate students and coaches participating in this prestigious event. Congressional Debate is a pillar in the Speech and Debate community, and the hard work our students put into it has been showcased both in and out of state.

I would also like to thank my MHSAA Speech & Debate Committee for the help and support given to our activity as we have navigated the past few tumultuous years. Special thanks go to Mr. Micah Everson, our NSDA District Chair, for helping at every MHSAA tournament this year in the continual navigation of Tabroom.com.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rachel Clapper-Davis

MHSAA Coordinator of Speech and Debate
