Good afternoon,

The spring semester is flying by very quickly.  With that said, the 2026 TAPPS Academics/Speech/LD Debate competition will take place on March 23-25 at the Waco Convention Center. Please take a moment and fill out the form below. The entry deadline is Tuesday, February 24. This will allow us to get schedules created quickly.

Ready Writing and Spelling are both online events, but please enter your students’ names in this registration.

Please note the online Spelling test for the academic competition has two dates listed – March 13 and March 20.  You will be able to choose which day your students will test.  The test will be available from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm to complete on the day you choose.  Make sure ALL your students take the exam at the same time with a proctor/monitor in the room. An email will be sent with registration/testing information closer to the date of the test.
