- SPORTS
Sports available for Rhetoric students include football, volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer, softball, swimming, cross country, track, tennis, golf, and cheerleading. The athletics office administers registrations and policies. - TAPPS
Varsity sports participate in Classification 4A of TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools). In addition to athletic competitions through TAPPS, students in Rhetoric School can also participate in TAPPS Fine Arts and Academic competitions. - DEBATE AND SPEECH
Students who wish to compete on the debate and speech team are required to take the Debate or Speech elective. Debaters compete against a broad range of schools, not just TAPPS schools. Students who might be interested should know that as far as the demands on the student are concerned, competitive debate is like being in a varsity sport all year (and beyond).
