This is Lincoln-Douglas (LD) Debate. LD debate features one person on each side. Debaters argue philosophical positions with respect to a real-world issue, emphasizing logical argumentation over an accumulation of evidence. You will learn values analysis, argumentation skills, sound and ethical uses of persuasion, and clear audience centered communication. Topics or "resolutions" cover issues ranging from social justice to foreign policy to corporate ethics.

Resolutions change every two months.  Current and past resolutions that we have debated can be viewed on the "Resolutions/Events" page.

At our 8th period meetings, our Teaching Coordinators teach beginning and advanced debaters skills that will help them at all the local and national tournaments we attend.
