For the second consecutive year, the Hutchinson High School debate and forensics program has been named one of the top 100 schools nationally by the National Speech & Debate Association. Hutchinson High School ranked 77th out of more than 3,000 schools nationwide in the organization. Members earn points and degrees through the honor society, based on competitive and service-related activities, ranging from the degree of merit with 25 points to the degree of premier distinction with 1,500 or more points. In addition to the group honor, HHS had a 2015 graduate who was named an All-American. LaKiyah Sain was in the top 25 students out of more than 150,000 students who competed in debate and forensics during 2014-15. The top 150 students each year are named All Americans. “There are a lot of great groups and teams around this school who deserve proper acclaim, and I’m proud of my team for earning this award and recognition,” said Zach Brown, head debate and forensics coach at HHS. “I’m greatly appreciative of the continued support of the community, school and district. We couldn’t have done it without you.”
