Speech & Debate

The National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) allows students to enter honor society, the National Forensic League. Students enter these organizations by earning points through participation in Competitive Speech and Debate and becoming a member of the NSDA. Students active in Competitive Speech and Debate in their senior year are allowed to wear NFL honor cords at graduation.

SCA has NSDA Charter Status, an honor based on team participation as they analyze team points earned via competition and service compared to overall school enrollment. Charter Status recognizes schools that have demonstrated a strong commitment to speech and debate activities, and demonstrate increased student confidence, critical thinking, and students finding their voices.
