KHSSL is the oldest high school organization in the state of Kentucky. We are proud not only of the tradition of excellence associated with this organization but also of our continued efforts to promote speech, drama, and debate education in Kentucky schools. The Kentucky High School Speech League, Inc. encourages all students to participate in academic competition and thereby receive an understanding of and appreciation for worthwhile speech, drama, and debate. KHSSL enhances and refines students' skills in acting, speaking, listening, and critical thinking, and provides an arena for extracurricular competition in speech, drama, and debate. Since 1920 -- Mind Over Chatter.
