Booster Club Info

AHS/SILSA Speech & Debate Booster Club

The speech and debate boosters coordinate the team activities such as fundraising, judging, running the Cougar Classic, and much more.

The Booster Club’s scheduled meetings can be found on the tournament schedule.

We are always looking for booster volunteers. Please join us to learn more about our team and help lead our kids. The 2025-2026 Booster Club Committee is made up predominantly of parents of seniors – we need volunteers now to learn the ropes and ensure continuity in Booster Club support for future years. Heading into 2026, we still don’t have a President – please consider taking on this role while you have the support of veteran parents to show you the ropes. The kids next year desperatly need your leadership.
