Greenhill Fall Classic

The Greenhill School in Dallas hosts the first "major" of the season each September. Bringing together the top teams from schools throughout the United States, the Fall Classic provides debaters with an opportunity to see how they stack up to their peers on the national circuit for the first time since summer institutes.

Since 1996, Woodward has cleared 20 teams to the elimination rounds of the Greenhill Fall Classic including three semifinalists and two finalists.

Woodward did not attend Greenhill in 2020 or 2021.
