Mount Pleasant High School junior Audrey Courreges has earned the National Speech and Debate Association’s Academic All-American Award. Of the more than 141,000 student members of the Association, fewer than 500 students earn the Academic All American Award every year.

The Academic All American award recognizes students who have completed at least five semesters of high school, earned the degree of Superior Distinction in the National Speech and Debate Association Honor Society, met the rigorous criteria for GPA and/or test score requirements and demonstrated outstanding character and leadership.

“Audrey is a two-year debate captain who has worked very hard to earn not only the grades but the success it requires to reach this achievement,” said MPHS Speech and Debate coach Cody Morris.  “I am very proud to see Audrey reach such a high level of success. I am so proud to get to coach a student with such passion and drive.”

Audrey is the daughter of Stephen and Catherine Courreges.
