CONTROL – Club of Champions!!!
CONTROL finished the year as the TOP Speech and Debate Team in the Country!!!
We acknowledge that the goals of CONTROL Speech and Debate far exceed what happens at individual tournaments. That said, we participate in a competitive sport and it is biblical to recognize excellence.
In a testimony to God’s grace, and to all of our wonderful parents and students, CONTROL has become the MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB in the history of Christian Homeschool Forensics!!!
