Parkview Speech and Debate enjoys the proudest tradition of speech and debate in the state of Missouri. We currently have the 2004 National Champions in  Public Forum Debate, Patrick Carver and Emma Bentley. 
 
We have qualified over 130 students to the national tournament in the last 45 years (with 71 qualifying in the last ten years).
 
We have qualified more students to the national tournament than any other school in Missouri and we placed ninth in the nation at the national tournament in 2002 and 10th each year since. We have dozens of state finalists and more state champions than any other school in Missouri.
 
PHS also hosts one of the largest invitational speech and debate tournament in the state of Missouri, the Bob Bilyeu Winter Classic.
 
All of us at Parkview are extremely proud of the tradition our students have built, and we would like for you to be a part of that legacy. Students may compete in Interpretation events (Humorous, Dramatic, Duo, Prose or Poetry Readings, Storytelling), Public Speaking events (Extemporaneous Speaking, Oratory) and Debate (Policy and Lincoln-Douglas). The squad competes in ten invitational tournaments, state, district, and national competition. These tournaments give students the opportunity to perform at very high levels of competition.

Former members of the speech and debate squad at Parkview include prominent community leaders. Our students attend such prestigious universities as Northwestern, Brandeis, Washington University, Georgetown and Princeton.
