[GFCA] Position for Director of Speech and Debate at Calhoun open for next year: Would you pass this around please?

[Lane Bearden]

It has been an honor to coach at Calhoun in the beautiful hills of north Georgia since 2002, but I have given notice that at the end of the 2017-18 year I will be stepping down. (Not coincidentally, that is the same time my daughter and niece will be graduating.)

The school is dedicated to their speech and debate program, and has agreed to look for a new coach who will keep up our tradition of excellence. The cupboard is certainly not going to be bare, and there will be returning experienced seniors and dedicated younger students who are looking forward to supporting a new coach.  We hope that with a full-time faculty member in charge, it may be more of a regional program, and they can expand the program to more speech and debate events, and increase the size of the team.

Thanks for the many years of support, patience, and love I have enjoyed from the community -  Lane
