Y-O-D-A

In keeping with the tradition established a few years ago, I am proud to announce this year's theme - Y-O-D-A: The Year of Determined Achievement. We will achieve great things as a team. In the words of Dr. Scott "Duck" Deatheridge, "when one of us wins, we all win."

Yoda has a long connection with the Law Magnet debate team. My first year of coaching, my favorite phrase to share with the debaters was "do or do not, there is no try." I like this message and it holds true to this day.

That same year, the team took this small figurine to UIL State as a "good luck" charm.  That team broke to the Sweet 16. Ms. Taylor, who is now the Assistant Debate Coach, was one of those debaters.

YEAR OF DETERMINED ACHIEVEMENT! This is your year to achieve because we are in it to win it!
