Holy Cross Speech and Debate Team earns top rank

Holy Cross’ Speech and Debate Team is now ranked among the top 23 percent of schools nationwide by the National Speech and Debate Association and earned membership in the Association’s prestigious 100 Club. Students earn points and degrees in the honor society based on competitive and service-related activities ranging from the Degree of Merit (with 25 or more points) to the Degree of Premiere Distinction (with 1,500 or more points). This milestone was achieved when Holy Cross earned 100 or more degrees last year. Speech and debate teach students essential life skills such as communication, research, listening, writing and organization. The National Speech and Debate Association commends Holy Cross for its leadership of an active speech and debate program.
