Speech & Debate All American
Charlotte Latin is proud to announce that Alaric Pan '23 has earned the National Speech & Debate Association's Academic All American Award! This coveted award recognizes academic rigor, competitive speech and debate success, and personal excellence.
From more than 141,000 student members of the National Speech & Debate Association, fewer than 1% of students earn the Academic All American award every year. This tremendous accomplishment places Alaric among the top one percent of all student members across the country.
This distinguished award recognizes students who have completed at least five semesters of high school; earned the degree of Superior Distinction in our Honor Society (a total of 750 or more merit points); achieved rigorous criteria for GPA and/or test score requirements; and demonstrated outstanding character and leadership.
Speech and Debate provides life skills vital to a young person's success. Speech and debate advances communication skills; improves reading, writing, and critical thinking skills; develops interpersonal skills; and prepares students for college, a career, and beyond.
Congratulations, Alaric! Your school is very proud of you.
