The SAA Speech-&-Debate Team is open to students from all grade levels. Our squad enters around 15 forensic tournaments per year.  We compete in individual events (IEs) and debate.  The IEs include Original Oratory, Extemporaneous Speaking, Interpretation (Dramatic, Humorous, Duo, Poetry and Prose), and Duet Acting.  The debate includes Lincoln Douglas Debate and Public Forum Debate. As students earn competition points, they become eligible for membership in the St. Agnes Chapter of the National Forensic League (NFL), the nations oldest and most prestigious academic honor society. 

Meetings: Mondays at lunch and Tuesdays after school
Room: 237
Sponsor: Ms. Wright
