Durham Academy Speech & Debate does it again. The team finished strong in the 2023 JW Patterson Tournament of Champions last weekend. From @dadebate: “Michael and Alex were named the Champions of Public Forum Debate, Lulu presided in the Final Round of Congress, Ben and Veer were PF Semifinalists, Max was an OO Quarterfinalist, and Teddy and Ani were PF Octafinalists. Durham Academy was recognized with the William Woods Tate Team Excellence Award for Overall Performance.”
“And the best thing I’m taking home isn’t the trophy or the photos; it is the fact that I watched these kids do it the right way - with compassion and kindness in addition to being there for one another. I’m so grateful for each of them, the host of friends who coached them throughout the year, and the opportunity to call Durham Academy my home.”
-Crawford Leavoy, Director of Speech & Debate
