Lower School Debate Masters Public Speaking and Narrative Arts
A Season of Influence: First Semester Speech & Debate Competition Recap
The first semester of the 2025-2026 academic year has seen the American Heritage Schools, Palm Beach Campus, Speech & Debate program reach new heights of success. From the local stage to the most prestigious national tournaments, our students have demonstrated exceptional skill in advocacy, public speaking, and logical reasoning.
This semester has been marked by record-breaking performances, including a permanent claim to the District Sweepstakes Trophy and a dominant showing at the largest tournament in the Southeast. Whether competing in person in Chicago and at Yale, or virtually in national online events, our students have consistently earned top honors and coveted bids to the National Championships. Our program’s strength begins with our youngest speakers in the Lower School and extends through our Junior High and Varsity teams, each contributing to a collective culture of excellence.
Below is a detailed recap of the milestones and victories that defined this incredible semester:
