Stoneleigh-Burnham Student Selected for U.S. Debate & Public Speaking Team

1/29/15 — Stoneleigh-Burnham School junior Claire Lane was selected for the U.S. team that will compete at the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championship in Hong Kong this April. With this prestigious invitation, Claire becomes the 14th Stoneleigh-Burnham student to compete at the world level.

“I believe there are two main reasons Claire has been selected for the U.S. team: 1) The impressive body of work she has accomplished over the last two years, and 2) Claire’s tireless work ethic,” says Dr. Paul Bassett, head coach of the Stoneleigh-Burnham Debate & Public Speaking Society.
