About the Course

Speech & Debate are powerful skills that require logic and persuasion, all while encouraging intellectual growth and communication mastery. This course provides a dynamic platform for students to cultivate critical thinking, effective communication, and teamwork skills.

Our team is currently comprised of three formats:

1. Public Forum Debate, where teams of two debate over current events.
2. Lincoln-Douglas Debate, where individuals tackle arguments with an emphasis on values and philosophy.
3. Congressional Debate, simulating legislative sessions and advocating for or against proposed legislation.

We can’t wait for you to join us in fostering a culture of articulate expression and analytical thinking that extends far beyond the confines of the classroom.

Available to students in grades 7-8
