This weekend, the 2013 California High School Speech Association (CHSSA) hosted the annual speech and debate state championships at West Ranch High School.  With 147 schools in attendance from all over California, this tournament saw over 1,000 students competing in 12 different speaking events, and 4 forms of debate.  When it was all over, South City had a historic finish in their individual events:

State Champion 1^st Place– Jeffrey Antonio 

3^rd Place – Diego Perez

5^th Place – Darlene Ollada 

7^th Place – Jacqueline Kong 

The students excelled with speeches examining social issues such as intolerance, environmental justice, media perception, and discrimination.   In addition to this individual success, despite having no debate program, South San Francisco placed 11^th overall as a team, amongst the 147 schools in attendance.  This is a true example of community-supported excellence in education. 

Please join us in congratulating them and their coach/teacher, Mr. Robert Hawkins, on their success.

South City beats El Camino 298 - 246.
