For the second year the Silver Lake Regional High School Speech & Debate Team will be sending three students to national competition during the Memorial Day Weekend in Appleton, Wisconsin. The three competed in a qualifying tournament at Shrewsbury High School on March 9 and will join hundreds of students from across the country on May 23, 24 and 25.
