The Coolidge League at the Luddy Schools is a regional debate league in North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic, open to all high schoolers and middle schoolers competing in declamation or debate. While it is a joint project of the Coolidge Foundation and the schools founded by Robert L. Luddy (the Thales Academies, Franklin Academy, and St. Thomas More Academy), tournaments welcome students in grades 6 through 12 from any school willing to travel to them.

We welcome any adult community member to volunteer to judge student debates. No experience necessary! Lunch included.
