The Debate Club is great place for students to explore the art of "organized arguing." Students in Debate Club tend to enjoy discussing current issues and if they don't already have a strong voice and good presentation skills, they will learn these abilities in a fun, safe club environment. Students learn to create factual/logical, ethical and emotional arguments to persuade others in the club that their "side" is correct.
The club's purpose is to teach and train students in the fundamentals of debate, public speaking and essay writing.
- Educate students about the art of speech and debate
- Teach students how to develop research, reasoning, organizational and essay writing skills
- Train students to be more confident speakers and debaters
- Help students build leadership skills and improve individual responsibility
- Compete with other school debate teams
- Teach students to work collaboratively
Speech and debate skills help students to thrive academically and provide them with an advantage in their careers.
