Alumni & Community Supporters!

We need your help this weekend. Please join us for the 34th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Speech & Debate Invitational hosted at James Logan High School. As you remember, the legacy of the program is dependent on hosting a successful MLK tournament. Come see Dr. Tommie Lindsey Jr. and support the current team for a reunion of sorts.

The tournament takes place this weekend, Friday 1/17/25 through Sunday 1/19/25. Sign-up to judge at the link provided: https://forms.gle/uDzDGKLtSJrVHTfQ6

What better way to honor Dr. King than to give back to the program? We hope to see you this weekend!

Times are tough, but our competitors are tougher. Help our team continue the legacy of excellence this virtual season.

James Logan Forensics Speech & Debate is an award-winning program with 5 state championships and 22 years of consecutive School of Excellence (top 20 speech programs) at the National Speech & Debate tournament.

As one of the only Title I public schools left in the national circuit our team has overcome many obstacles with the lack of funding and limited resources. Although they face these challenges, the students of James Logan Forensics boast a 100% graduation rate and 85% attend 4-year universities and colleges. Our goal is to continue to provide opportunities for our diverse, talented, compassionate students to have their voices heard.
