The Corner Canyon Speech and debate team has become one of the most accomplished and fastest growing Speech and Debate teams in Utah. In just 3 years the head coach--Jeremy Acker--has taken the speech and debate team from 6 kids to nearly 50. The Corner Canyon Speech and Debate team has what is widely recognized as the best coaching staff in all of high school Speech and Debate, Jeremy Acker, Taylor Ouimette, and Lorelei Lassen. The Corner Canyon speech and debate team placed at 6A state for the first time ever in 2022, placing 3rd. In 2023 they placed 3rd by only 8 points, a difference so small that one of the policy teams winning the round where they lost on the cap k that the other team kicked would have provided enough points to win state (said person is not salty at all and is very happy about their season). They did however win Patriot Powerhouse and their own tournament--Charger Challenge--by wide margins this year. Corner Canyon Speech and Debate has also had multiple national qualifiers, including but not limited to Ronan Spencer, Kaiya Sharp, Catherine Fauccette, Aiden Messarian partnered with Ethan Fauccette, Abigail Holland partnered with August Brown. The Speech and Debate team is widely recognized pas way cooler than the theater department, who--according to Alyssa Miller--are not as fun.Notable Alumni
