Debate Update - Saturday at the "Digital Nutcracker" Debate Tournament, Yarmouth got silver in sweeps thanks to another slew of solid performances.
Mary Psyhogeos and Kate Siegel were the MVPs this week, with a first place win in the House and a 3rd place in Senate respectively. Also placing were Joshua Leinwand and Tyler Lucca, who earned 2nd and 4th in their Houses respectively. Maddy Corson technically earned at least 5th and maybe even 4th in her House, but that was not recognized due to a judging error which will hopefully be remedied soon.
Deserving of special accolades is Oscar O'Donnell, who became the first Yarmouth competitor to strike out beyond Congressional Debate since we rebooted the team three years ago. He tried his hand at Lincoln-Douglas and appears to have done quite respectably, especially given the obvious challenges.
Congratulations All!
Congratulations to YHS students Parker Harnett and Zoe Siegal who were chosen as semifinalists out of the 99,403 applicants for the National Coca Cola Scholars Program in recognition for their outstanding leadership, academic achievements, and dedication to their community.
