Mission Statement

Lewisville Area Homeschool Speech and Debate Club (LAHSD) is a Christian speech and debate club for homeschooled students.  The mission of our club is to raise up Christian leaders who can articulate their values to an unbelieving world, by facilitating the training necessary to prepare students for NCFCA and Stoa competition.  NCFCA and Stoa tournaments provide checkpoints throughout the season for students to prepare, practice and polish speeches and debate cases.
