Speech and Debate

Speech and Debate at MacArthur

District Champions

2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025

Speech and Debate is the home of future leaders and entertainers.  Successful people know how to engage others through speech, and it is a skill that must be practiced before it is perfected.

Speech and Debate is an elective that empowers students and allows them to find their voices.  Students may perform a variety of different works including poetry, storytelling, speeches, and more.
