Madison Central Speech and Debate will compete in Chicago, IL over Memorial Day weekend at the NCFL Grand National Tournament! This will be the largest squad the team has ever taken to the tournament, with 4 freshmen, 8 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 11 seniors qualifying for and attending the prestigious tournament. Last year, MC Speech and Debate had a finalist and quarterfinalist make the stage at the tournament. The team has had multiple finalists, semifinalists, quarterfinalists, and more at the Grand National Tournament. Madison Central Speech and Debate are two-time MHSAA State Champions in Speech and Debate, has three Academic All-Americans on the team, and is one of the largest academic activities in the state. The team is fundraising to help cover the cost of lodging and transportation for the tournament. Please donate to the team to help support these students in going to nationals! Any amount helps!
