I also coached and ran tournaments (using Speechwire) for my high school team (Canterbury High School, Fort Wayne, IN) after high school graduation until I took a job in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area after college graduation. I have been helping judge all events except Policy Debate since I graduated high school in both Texas and Indiana.
While in high school I competed in Student Congress, Original Oratory, United States Extemporaneous and Discussion. I achieved the degree of distinction in the National Speech and Debate Association.
I also did Model UN while in high school.
