Twenty-four Johnston students participated in the IHSSA State Debate this weekend! 
—Aravind Balaji is the Champion of the awards house. He is the best congressional debater in Iowa! This is the first time in school history we had a Congressional Debater win the awards house. Also, Aravind is the first student in Johnston history to break to the awards house in all 4 years as a debater.
--For the second year in a row, Johnston placed 2nd in sweepstakes! To win the sweepstakes trophy you have to have an accumulation of points across multiple debate divisions. 
--This is one of two State Tournaments that Johnston speech and debate will be competing in this year. The next one will be the Iowa Forensic League State Tournament.
