Murray, Ky., March 20, 2023----Murray High Speech Team senior Raegan Settle has been named the 2023 National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) Kentucky District Student of the Year. Settle was named at the Kentucky Chapter of the National Speech and Debate Association District Tournament, where she qualified for the upcoming national competition after winning first place in Dramatic Interpretation.

 

Each NSDA District has the opportunity to name a District Student of the Year. Coaches may nominate a graduating senior who best represents the tenets of the Association’s Code of Honor: humility, equity, integrity, respect, leadership, and service.

 

Each year, the top students who win the district award are selected as finalists for the William Woods Tate, Jr., National Student of the Year award. Finalists interview with an esteemed panel, and the National Student of the Year is announced during the National Awards Assembly.

 

The Murray High Speech Team is so proud of Raegan and how well she represents our school, our community, and our Commonwealth,” said Michael Robinson, MHS Speech Coach.
