German, Latin, Spanish, and French are offered to help fulfill this need. Speech and debate classes are always a display of the ingenuity of Highland students. We’ll all remember the hilarious melodrama, Egad! What A Cad , given by the debate class. Students realize these classes are valuable and necessary ones that will help them when they are out in the world. CREATING A PENSIVE mood during a dramatic reading, Mr. E.
