The number one fear in America is public speaking. This may be true of many Americans, but it is not the case with the fearless students on the Franklin High Speech & Debate team. Undaunted by the task of standing out and speaking up, the members of our exclusive team compete against the formidable public speakers of neighboring schools. One Saturday a month, these students are found dressed and prepped for competition. They travel to various schools around the county and engage in witty repartee and discourse. If you are not faint of heart and have the determination to join, stop by room 105 after school to investigate!
