Coppell Classic 2012

The JBS Law Magnet Debate Team will be leaving Townview at 230PM. Note that Round 1 starts at 415PM. Coppell is not difficult to get to, but it can be a challenge to locate because it is hidden in a residential area. Make sure you clearly communicate to your parents to pick you up on the back of the school. They will have to travel in front (where the flags are) of the school and all the way around to get to the back.  The back is NOT located on the side of the Stadium entrance and student parking.
