The Culver City High School Speech and Debate team is comprised of students who compete in a wide variety of speech and debate tournaments in and around southern California, as well as nationally. Speech and debate builds a myriad of abilities—to research, analyze, think critically, speak in public, see the big picture as well as the details, and break down information to make a compelling case. These are essential skills for a modern world.

We recommend a $100 donation per student.
