Why Speech and Debate?
The National Speech and Debate Association was established in 1925 and students are 5x more likely to get into a top 50 school.
Students gain and refine skills allowing them to perform better academically than their peers. Writing and speaking in class become second-nature.
Build confidence and presence. Understand your audience, and deliver critical well-organized messages persuasively. Present comfortably to crowds.
Speech and Debate is a CHSAA and national event with an honor society that tracks points. Gain national recognition for your efforts.
