The National Speech & Debate Association is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025 with an ongoing belief that “a speech and debate program in every school creates a better civil society.” The Minnesota State High School League, with its own proud speech and debate history, agrees.
Welcome to the MSHSL Minute, a sampling of stories involving Minnesota State High School League Member Schools, students, coaches, directors, administrators, officials, alumni and more. The April 16 edition salutes national champions, a multi-sport star and a Speech student's story of perseverance.
