Hi everyone, my name is Joseph Prather, and I’m excited to join the team as the new Assistant Coach for Speech and Debate. My background is in filmmaking and media production, where I’ve worked closely with producers to bring stories to life on screen. Through that experience, I learned how powerful clear communication, strong storytelling, and confident presentation can be. I’m looking forward to helping each of your students develop those same skills—not just to succeed in rounds, but to become persuasive speakers, thoughtful thinkers, and effective storytellers in their own right.
