Congratulations to coach Lisa Willoughby for being named a Key Coach at The Barkley Forum for High Schools at Emory University! This is a great honor for a person who has not only been the cornerstone of the program at Grady High School, but her involvement within the Atlanta Urban Debate League has been a significant part in the success of that program. We are all so happy for her!
Students did well at the tournament. Congratulations to Tyler Olson and Ashley Brown for advancing to the double-octofinal round in Public Forum; Patrick Heflin advanced to quarter-finals in Dramatic Interpretation; and Leith Meador advanced to quarter-finals in Extemporaneous Speaking. A job well done, Jesters!
