Honor Academy Tournament Results

At Honor Academy, students Compete Under Both Honor Academy and School Banners

Intro

A proven record of competitive excellence!

Our students compete — and win — at the highest levels of competitive speech and debate. From local invitationals to NSDA Nationals, the Tournament of Champions (TOC), and CHSSA State Championships, Honor Academy has built a consistent track record of competitive excellence. Our students compete both as Honor Academy representatives and under their own school banners — and our coaches adapt their training style to match each student’s unique competitive environment, whether that’s a public school circuit, private school league, or independent tournament track.

What makes these results even more remarkable is that Honor Academy students compete in two distinct ways. Some represent Honor Academy directly at open tournaments. Others compete under their own school’s banner — from Whitney High School, Oxford Academy, Sunny Hills, Cypress, Troy, Los Alamitos, Brea Olinda, Portola, and many other public and private schools in Southern California and Los Angeles area — where they apply everything they’ve learned from our coaches in their school’s competitive environment. Our coaching staff adapts to each student’s unique circuit, league rules, and competitive context. Whether your child competes independently or through their school, Honor Academy’s coaching meets them where they are.

2026 CHSSA Middle School State Championship

🏆 Honor Academy Shines at the CHSSA Middle School State Championship! 🏆

We are incredibly proud of our competitors who represented Honor Academy at the CHSSA Middle School State Championship — one of the most prestigious and competitive tournaments in California!

As the SoCal-based club team with the highest achievements in both Public Forum and Lincoln-Douglas, we are thrilled to share the outstanding results from our students in the two most competitive and heavily contested divisions of the championship:


Lincoln-Douglas (LD)
Quarterfinalist — Emme Ngo
Triple Octafinalist — Hansica Sarvan
Triple Octafinalist — Claire Shin
Triple Octafinalist — Elise Lee


Public Forum (PF)
Quarterfinalist — Ananya Ekbote & Aarav Jhunjhunwala
Quarterfinalist — Soyeon Kim & Katelyn Pham
Quarterfinalist — Marissa Ho & Siksha Srivatsa
Octafinalist — Katie Jo & Aimee Kim(Undefeated in Preliminary Rounds!)
Octafinalist — Elizabeth Lin & Ellie Oh


What makes these achievements even more meaningful is how our students competed. In a tournament where some competitors resorted to questionable tactics and unsportsmanlike strategies simply to win, every single Honor Academy student competed with integrity, respect, and a genuine commitment to the educational values of speech and debate. Not one of our competitors broke a rule or compromised their character — and that, above all, is something we are truly proud of.

At Honor Academy, we believe that true success is built on honest competition, meaningful communication, and the pursuit of knowledge — and our students proved exactly that on one of the biggest stages in California middle school debate.

Congratulations to all of our competitors, coaches, and families who made this possible. We cannot wait to see what comes next! 🌟

Public Forum

★ Middle School Public Forum — National Tournament (228 Entries / 456 Debaters)

 

Honor Academy's middle school Public Forum debaters competed in one of the largestand most competitive fields we have ever entered — a pool of 228 entries, representing456 total debaters from across the United States and several Asian countries.
What makes these results extraordinary is not just the placements — it is the context.

Our debaters competed against teams with years of experience and pre-written casesprepared at an advanced level. Our students competed with debate cases they researchedand wrote themselves. Several of our debaters were competing for the very first time.

Every single one of them held their ground.We could not be more proud.

 

Results:
🏆 Triple-Octofinalist: A. Jhunjhunwala & A. Ekbote

🏆 Triple-Octofinalist: M. Ho & A. Raichura

🎤 10th Speaker: E. Oh — Top speaker record among ALL California debaters in the field

🎤 12th Speaker: E. Lin

🎤 48th Speaker: A. Ganesh — First-time competitor!

 

Several other Honor Academy debaters — including first-time competitors — achieved3-3 records against experienced opponents with professionally prepared cases.This is a testament to the quality of research, preparation, and independent thinkingwe develop in every one of our students.
 
Honor Academy's approach has always been to build genuine skills — not to handstudents pre-written arguments, but to teach them how to think, research, and competeon their own. These results prove that approach works, even on the biggest stages.

 

 

Lincoln Douglas

★ Lincoln-Douglas Debate — 172 Entries

Honor Academy's Lincoln-Douglas debaters faced one of their toughest challenges yet —a 172-entry field of some of the most experienced LD competitors in the country. Whatmade this tournament especially demanding was that our debaters were simultaneouslyworking on two different debate topics at once, requiring double the research, doublethe preparation, and double the mental focus going into competition.They delivered.

Results:
🏆 Runoff: C. Shin

🏆 Runoff: J. Rajapogal

🎤 15th Speaker: C. Shin — out of 172 entries
Advancing to runoff in a 172-entry LD field is a remarkable achievement under anycircumstances. Doing it while managing two concurrent debate topics makes it evenmore so. C. Shin's 15th Speaker finish is a standout result that reflects not justcompetitive skill, but the kind of adaptability and mental toughness that HonorAcademy coaching builds in every student.
We are incredibly proud of both C. Shin and J. Rajapogal, and of every debater whostepped up to compete under these demanding conditions.
