General information This is a High School tournament in Ohio. View manager contact information WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL NORTHWEST ROTARY HOLIDAY CLASSIC!
The coaching staff, boosters and students of the Northwest High School Speech and Debate Team cordially invite you to the Inaugural Northwest Rotary Holiday Classic Tournament. This year’s tournament will be held Friday, December 22nd, 2023.

ARRIVAL The school will be open at 3:00PM. When you arrive, students can gather in the commons. Judges should gather in the Auxillary Gym. Head Coaches should report to TAB for registration. Parent and student guides will be on site to assist with navigation of the buildings.
