The Petition is Live — Add Your Name
We've officially started collecting signatures to bring a competitive debate team to Capitol High. This is step one — no team yet, just a pitch. The more names we walk into the meeting with, the harder it is for admin to say no. Takes 30 seconds to sign.

Public Forum
