Last week we recognized members of the Speech Club for their incredible achievements at multiple competitions this semester. From securing top rankings at the Nanke Invitational Forensics Tournament and the US Speech & Debate Asia Scrimmage, to earning special honors from the National Speech & Debate Association Honor Society, all of our Club members showcased their exceptional communication skills! A BIG congrats to Adam, Fiona, Jerry, Katherine, Noah, and Phillip! And best of luck to Katherine, whose compelling 10-minute speech, addressing the difficulties of our world, secured her a coveted spot at the US National Speech and Debate Tournament. Katherine will spend a week of her summer competing against 6000 students from across the US and the world, vying for scholarships and trophies. We couldn't be prouder! Well done Speech Club. Your passion for communication and dedication to excellence are inspiring! #SpeechClub #debatechampions #sucessstories
