Balboa High School's Miranda Pettiford (Balboa PK) at the Mission High Tournament.

The most anticipated tournament of the season — the National Qualifier — is upon us!  This is the tournament when the stakes are high — when the arguments and the hard work translate to incredible debates, trophies, and the chance to compete at the National Tournament in New York City.

Get pumped for this exciting competition to be held on December 12 and 13 at a new site: The Fremont Federation of High Schools (4610 Foothill Blvd.)!  All members of the community — students, teachers, coaches, judges, family members — are invited to watch some of the area’s most talented debaters vie for a spot to represent the Bay Area in New York City in 2010.  Whether you are competing, adjudicating, or observer, you won’t want to miss it!

Of course, the big question is not whether we will see you on December 12 and 13 at the Fremont Federation of High Schools…

Will we see you in New York City?
