Stephanie Brotherton (aka. B) is the head coach of Kickapoo's speech and debate program.  She has 2 "kids" Aria  (23 years old) and Parker (21 years old) and has been married to her amazing high school sweetheart Joshua for 26 years.

She started competing in 7th grade giving her 35 years of experience competing or coaching.  She graduated MSU (formerly known as SMSU) in 1999 and had already been hired to coach and teach at Marion C. Early high school. She left the education arena to raise her two amazing kids, and then back to Gloria Deo Academy to start a program that is now top 50 in the state.  She found her way to Kickapoo in the fall of 2023, where she is excited to be building the best program in the state focused on all events including speaking, acting and debate!

She likes to win at competition but her main focus is helping students and adults find their unique talents and abilities and thriving in who "they be".
