Mount Pleasant High School senior Isabella Greco 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 1,000 students earn the Academic All-American Award every year. To date, only eight team members from MPHS have earned this prestigious honor.

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 (a total of 750 or more merit points), have at least a 3.7 GPA, and have demonstrated outstanding character and leadership.

“Isabella has worked very hard to earn this achievement,” said MPHS Speech and Debate Coach, Cody Morris. “She has been a highly competitive debater and is also extremely successful in the classroom. This is a great accomplishment, something that should go on her resume for the rest of her life. I am extremely proud of her.”
Greco is a four-year member of MP Speech and Debate and competes in Congressional Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking. She is the daughter of Dr. Anthony and Ana Greco.
