National Speech & Debate Association announces club awards for high schools ranked among top speech and debate members.

The National Speech & Debate Association announced that Notre Dame Prep's upper school has been awarded "200 Club" status for 2023 after meeting its threshold of strength points (200).

“Our Club Award winners show an incredible commitment to this activity, their students and their success,” said J. Scott Wunn, executive director of the National Speech & Debate Association. “These programs demonstrate outstanding commitment to teaching students essential life skills—including communication, research, listening, writing, and organization.”

Strength points are calculated based on student and coach achievements in competition and service. For each degree a student receives, they also earn one strength point. A school’s strength is the sum of each student’s strength plus the strength of up to three coaches.  

The National Speech & Debate Association is the authority on public speaking and debate in the United States. Its mission is to connect, support and inspire a diverse community committed to empowering students through speech and debate.
