Speech & Debate Team Members Shine Bright at Nationals!
A BIG congratulations to Kaitlyn Ernst '24, who came in 7th in the nation in Lincoln-Douglas Debate at the 2023 National Speech & Debate Tournament!
In addition to automatically qualifying for the 2024 National Tournament, Kaitlyn also reached Premier Distinction, the highest degree in the National Speech & Debate Association Honor Society. Fewer than 3% of NSDA members earn Premier Distinction prior to graduating.
Maggie Chen '23 and Kate Tracanna '24 also made up a crucial part of a Top 8 World Schools Debate team. Kate and the other non-graduating team members have received an auto-qualification to 2024 Nationals as well.
