JADA BYRD
“Jada is beyond her years in maturity and career readiness,” says Maine East teacher Tess Love. “As a student in my virtual health-care careers class and medical terminology class, she was always engaged in the conversations regarding healthcare and her future career plans. Jada continually sought out opportunities to learn more about the medical field and make connections with healthcare professionals when they came to virtually visit the class.”

In Early March 2022, policy debaters Stella Tsogtjargal and Haaziya Saiyed participated in the Northern Illinois District Qualifier for the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) National Tournament. At the qualifier, Stella and Haaziya went undefeated, going on to earn one of two slots for the National Tournament. Stella and Haaziya will be the first Maine East students to compete at the National Tournament.
Every year, thousands of high school students join together to use the power of their words for change. The 2022 National Speech & Debate Tournament will be held from June 12-17 in Louisville, KY!
Throughout the year, more than 6,000 students qualify for the chance to have their message heard in front of thousands. It all culminates in the National Speech & Debate Tournament. With 24 different competitive events, the National Tournament is the pinnacle of public speaking for speech and debate competitors from around the globe!
For nearly 100 years, the National Speech & Debate Association has built a platform for youth voices that has built the skills for actors, politicians, and our country’s leaders.
