The Massachusetts Speech & Debate League Hall of Fame was established in 2000 to recognize those in the League's past and present who have compiled a distinguished career of service and dedication for their students, and all the students of the MSDL. Hall of Fame members are nominated by other members of the MSDL, and must have served the MSDL for at least 12 years. Honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame at the State Championship Tournaments.
