Recent Parker School graduate Jesse Tarnas and soon to be senior Tyler McCullough competed in the National Forensic League National Tournament in Indianapolis.
Tarnas and McCullough both made it through six rounds in the Lincoln-Douglas Category; Tarnas through six rounds in Supplemental Debate; and McCullough through three rounds of Supplemental Debate.
“I’m really excited about how competitive our kids were against the best debaters in the nation,” said debate coach and headmaster Carl Sturges. “It was a great experience for my junior so that he can come back next year and really have a leg up on the season, and it was great for my senior who intends to do debate in college. So all in all it was a great trip.”
“The trip was very fun and made me realize how special the debate team at Parker school really is,” Tarnas said.
