Welcome to the Sprague High School Speech and Debate Home Page! Named for Oregon Gov. Charles A. Sprague (1939-1943), Sprague High School is in Salem, Oregon and has a student population of nearly 2,000.

This competition is designed to develop critical thinking and public speaking skills. Students craft original speeches, build debate cases, and interpret published works as part of their preparation for competitive tournaments and life beyond high school. Speech offers many opportunities for students: membership in the National Forensics League – the national speech and debate body who organizes national competitions, a positive environment for spirited discussion and debate on today's social and political topics, 14 events allowing students to meet and compete with peers from all over the state, an activities letter, and the value of having speech and debate on a college application. Students interested in Speech and Debate should see Mr. Curry in room 109 in the mornings or afternoons. Speech team is offered as a class during the day and during early bird. For more information on what we do, or how to contact Mr. Curry, please use the links provided below.
