Cranbrook Senior Among Top Debate Students in Nation

National Speech & Debate Association Selects Neema Baddam ’23 as All-Academic American Award Winner
Cranbrook Schools Senior Neema Baddam has been named a National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) Debate Academic All-American!

The All-American Award is given to the top 25 students with the most points in the National Speech & Debate Honor Society. From more than 140,000 student members of the NSDA Honor Society, these 25 students earned the most points.

Points in the Honor Society are earned through a combination of speech and debate competition and community service. In order to win the All-American Award, students must also have competed at the National Speech & Debate Tournament at least once. 

“To place among the very best students in the Association is a tribute to talent, hard work, and dedication,” said J. Scott Wunn, Executive Director of the National Speech & Debate Association.

Congratulations, Neema!
