National Speech 2026

Canton qualified back in February for the National Speech and Debate Championship. After wrapping up Suffs on Sunday he headed to Richmond to prepare for four rounds on Monday and then two rounds on Tuesday. He found out he advanced from 300 kids to the top 60! So two more rounds immediately followed. While he did not advance to the round of 30 we couldn’t be more proud of him!! Most of those kids live and breathe speech, while Canton is so involved in theatre and choir. How many of those kids could say they were just coming off being the first high school boy to play Woodrow Wilson in Suffs? None! Always so proud of his brains, talent, and heart!

On to SpongeBob where is the doing musical direction!

Adleigh’s Last Day 5th Grade

Adleigh is officially a rising middle schooler 😭😭😭

Adleigh had a great year with Flex: all pass advanced on her SoLs, student of the month multiple times, and she was granted the Academic Award for highest achievement. Adleigh is fierce, funny, and friendly. As she enters in person school for the first time next year I know she will face her challenges with humor and grace. Great job, Adleigh!

Suffs 2026

Jamestown was lucky enough to win the Young Are At The Gates grant to be able to be one of the first 10 schools to premiere the Broadway show “SUFFS”.
Canton is one of the first males to ever play Woodrow Wilson!
This was incredibly LONG, hard, and successful year. Canton did not have much down time and took on the challenge of adding yet another show.

It opens on Thursday, here are some preview pictures 🙂
