Cardinal Mooney has made history once again at the National Speech and Debate Association Northern Ohio District Tournament!
For the 19th time in school history, we have captured the district title! In doing so, the program has punched its ticket to its 60th National Speech And Debate Tournament, which takes place in Des Moines, Iowa, this summer! Only 13 schools in the entire country have reached the NSDA tournament as many times.
This is the first district title the program has won since 2022, and first one for first-year head coach Allyson Cooper!
Great job, team — thank you for keeping the tradition alive!

🌹 Happy St. Valentine’s Day from Cardinal Mooney! 🌹
Today, we celebrate not just love, but the deeper call to self-giving and sacrifice that St. Valentine exemplified. As a priest in ancient Rome, he defied persecution to marry couples in the faith, ultimately giving his life for Christ. His witness reminds us that true love is rooted in God—selfless, enduring, and sacrificial.
On this day, let us reflect on Christ’s ultimate love, which calls us to love one another with kindness, patience, and faithfulness (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). May our always strive to live out this love in our words and actions.
❤️ St. Valentine, pray for us! ❤️
