SPEECH CAPTAINHiii! My name is Melanie Keang. I am your 2025-2026 Speech Captain! I’m currently a junior in Middle College attending Mt Hood Community College! This is my second year in speech and debate. Some events I have participated in are Impromptu, LD, Radio Commentary, Original Oratory, and Parliamentary Debate! This upcoming school year I hope to try out various new events such as Prose, Duo, and POI! I made it to state my novice year, placing first at Districts in Oratory and fifth in Radio. With my role, I hope to inspire people to compete to their fullest possible outcomes and offer a helping hand to anybody in need, whether it be with brainstorming, writing, or delivering a speech no matter the event! I believe there is a space for everybody when it comes to speech and debate. One of my favorite parts of the program is the people you are able to meet, along with the genuine connections you make. I hope to make this school year a successful, welcoming, and especially fun experience for everyone involved. :)

DEBATE CAPTAINHi, I’m Cian Perkins, the RHS debate captain for the 25-26 school year. My past year on the team has been some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life, from my first ever tournament to being lucky enough to go to The Harvard Debate Workshop. It has all been amazing. I hope to support members, new and old, of the RHS speech and debate team in having the best experience they can have.

COMMUNICATIONS CHAIR
Hi!!! My name is Jomei, and this will be my second year in speech and debate! I initially was completely against joining but was eventually persuaded to go to a tournament for fun with my friends that I ended up getting first place in! I’ve participated in Parliamentary Debate, Informative Speaking, Program Oral Interpretation, and was also able to learn about Policy Debate at Harvard during the summer. My role as Communications Chair is to help showcase all of our teammates' achievements throughout the year! I look forward to improving myself as a speaker and presenter, hopefully racking up awards/medals from tournaments, and mostly, having fun with my friends.

TREASURERHello! I am Eddie, and I will be the Treasurer for the 2025-26 school year. This will be my second year in speech and debate, and I have had so much fun and found much joy in this sport. Not only that, but I have made many friends and memories in my time at tournaments and practices. I hope that we have a record amount of people join and attend tournaments. Speech and debate is truly a fun thing to do, and I hope people break out of their shell just like I did.
