## Resource

Four Lincoln East High School grads dominated the National Speech and Debate Tournament, rewriting school history and earning top finishes across categories. A sophomore made history as the first from her school to place in Original Oratory, delivering a moving speech on mental health that landed her seventh overall. Another student soared to fifth in Extemporaneous Speaking, impressively tackling complex topics like economics and foreign policy on the fly. A third student claimed fifth in Impromptu Speaking, proving she could think fast and speak clearly under pressure. Meanwhile, Lincoln East’s debate team clinched the Tournament of Champions title, defeating just six schools nationwide — a testament to their elite, consistent program. These victories aren’t just trophies — they’re proof that debate and speech build critical thinking, persuasive communication, and deep issue analysis — skills that prepare students for success beyond the stage.
