FIVE AHS STUDENTS WIN NATIONAL SPEECH & DEBATE ASSOCIATION AWARD!
Five students from Alhambra High School have earned the National Speech & Debate Association’s Academic All American Award, one of the highest honors presented by the organization. Emilie Taniguchi, Collin Lei, Brizia Eb, Suki Li, and Brendon Wu were given the very selective award which recognizes students who have demonstrated excellence both in competition and in the classroom. To qualify, students must earn the degree of Superior Distinction, which requires at least 750 speech and debate tournament and service points. Recipients must also have completed a minimum of five semesters of high school, maintained a GPA of 3.7 or higher, and demonstrated outstanding character, leadership, and academic achievement. Fewer than one percent of student competitors nationwide receive the distinction each year.
