Individual highlights were impressive, with 1st place finishes captured by Robert Lewis and Espen Plotkin in Duo Interpretation and Caidance Henniger in Humorous Interpretation. 2nd Place trophies went to Phoebe Ressler in Original Oratory, Carys Highum in Informative Speaking, Ava Rivera in Prose and Eva Isaacs in Congressional Debate. Isaacs also finished in 3rd Place in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, along with Freshman team mate Nicolette Buono who took 3rd in Informational Speaking. Fourth-place finishes went to Eva Isaacs in Big Questions Debate, Oona Carlin in Congressional Debate, Carys Highum in Original Oratory and Ava Rivera in Informational Speaking. Freshman Oona Carlin also finished in fifth place in Impromptu Speaking, and top-six finishes were rounded out by Nicolette Buono in Congressional Debate and Braelyn Baumgarten in Original Oratory.

Project Graduation 2026

Volunteers Needed!
Parents and guardians of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors — we need your help planning Project Graduation 2026!
