Thanks to Speech and Debate Coach Paul Sealey’s leadership, Federal Way High School earned the National Speech & Debate Leading Chapter Award for the Western Washington District.

This award, which is based on student participation, represents a tremendous dedication to speech and debate education.

Out of more than 3,000 schools nationwide, Federal Way High School is one of only 108 to receive this distinction.

Speech and debate advances communication skills, critical thinking, develops interpersonal skills, writing, speaking, and prepares students for college, careers, and beyond.

We are proud of your leadership, and the positive impact on our scholars!
