Welcome back students to the 2019-2020 school year!!
About Me.........
Hello, my name is Kelly Clark Garner, and I am the coach of the Petal Speech and Debate Team (competitive public speaking, debate, and theater), and the director of the Petal Drama Department. I will start my 23nd year of teaching in the Petal School District this year. While here at Petal High, I have directed over 46 drama performances and coached over 330 speech and debate tournaments.
Over the summer, I am proud to announce that the Petal Speech and Debate Team qualified 15 students to the NCFL Grand National Tournament in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Also, our team qualified three students to the National Speech and Debate Association Tournament which was held in Dallas, Texas. All three students brought home trophies.
Furthermore, I am so looking forward to working with this multi-talented group of students again this year!
Besides, coaching speech and debate, directing plays/musicals and teaching at PHS, I currently serve as the a committee member of the Mississippi Forensics League, as the moderator of Biloxi Diocesan Committee for the CFL National Forensics Tournament, and I am on the rules committee for the MHSAA Activities Association for Speech and Debate.
This year I will be teaching Theater I, and Oral Communcations I, and coaching the Speech and Debate Team.
