The Drama, Speech, and Debate Team is a MSHSAA organization that empowers students to better their speaking, acting, and reasoning skills through practice, teamwork, and competition.
The DSD team works like track: each student picks an event, either solo or with a partner depending, from a list of 13 or so events. Each student has the capability to win their individual event at each tournament; each team then wins a tournament contingent on how many events each team placed.
