(Lee’s Summit) – Summit Christian Academy (SCA) is pleased to announce that the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA) recently awarded their highest honor, Charter Status, to the school.

NSDA’s Charter Status is based on team participation as they analyze team points earned via competition and service compared to overall school enrollment.  Charter Status recognizes schools who have demonstrated a strong commitment to speech and debate activities, and demonstrates increased student confidence, critical thinking, and students finding their voices.

“I am grateful for the leadership of Speech & Debate Teacher Mr. Lindsey and the dedication and time commitment of our students,” shared SCA Head of School Chris Hahn.  “This recognition is hard earned and well deserved.”
