About Us

"The Appomattox Regional Governor’s School for the Arts and Technology provides gifted and talented students a differentiated and rigorous education, cultivates a supportive environment that inspires unique artistic and technological visions, promotes cultural tolerance, nurtures community partnerships, and produces active, engaged citizens. "

We seek to support our school's mission by building and growing our school's Speech and Debate program. 

We aim to support all people in learning to shape their world through language, storytelling, and debate. We aspire to equip our students with the cunning, candor, and critical thinking necessary to be successful in any situation, space, or company. 

Participation in speech and debate is tied to many benefits: 

• Building confidence

• Improving critical thinking skills 

The Greater Richmond Area's Speech and Debate Community offers:

• Many local events
