The Cinco Speech & Debate Team won first place at the Alief Kerr High School tournament on January 30, 2016, sweeping the tournament by placing first in all events entered. They followed this win on February 6 with team members placing in several events at the Cy-Fair High School tournament.

At Alief Kerr, 20 team members were finalists, with several placing in multiple events. Cinco Speech & Debate brought home three first place trophies, one second place trophy, four third place trophies and the four foot tall trophy for winning first place overall.
