CHSSA Hall of Fame

The members of the Hall of Fame certainly would agree that the honor of their induction is shared with the many students they have served through the years, just as the honors their students are shared with their loyal coaches. Just as assuredly, their students would attest to the generosity of those who have given of their time, treasure, and talents in preparing thousands of young people for productive citizenship and life-long success. In 2019 two unique candidates have been nominated: Chris Wardner and June Read. Votes will be collected from past Hall of Fame winners, CHSSA council members, and each League.

Chuck Ballingall Policy Debate Scholarship

Chuck Ballingall served as the Policy Debate guru of the California High School Speech Association for more than three decades. During that time he coached countless students to incredible success. After passing away in 2017 the California High School Speech Association created the Chuck Ballingall scholarship fund in order to provide opportunities for students to become involved in Chuck’s favorite debate style, policy debate.
