Why Debate?

  • Debate programs are transformational experiences for students. 
  • Debate is a social activity that provides significant intellectual benefits and improves academic skills: quick thinking, sound argument, logic, reasoning, and confident speaking. There are few spaces where intellectual and social goals align so well to inform a young citizen. 
  • Debate programs create leaders. Leading requires intelligence, vision, empathy, efficiency, and resolve. Participating in and studying debate cultivates these essential leadership skills in young women and men.  Debate creates critical thinkers and confident leaders who can direct public thinking toward moral and prosperous decisions.
  • From an academic perspective, speech and debate classes increase school performance and are favored at the college and post-graduate level. 
  • Speech and Debate is fun!  Debate is both a team and an individual activity. Debaters can compete individually or in groups.    
  • Preparing for a debate tournament is bonding, team-building experience that leads to close personal friendships.  
  • Those students who prefer not to compete in tournaments still obtain the critical skills and benefits of participating in Debate classes.
