Debate Team

The North Debate Team runs from August to March. This competitive club provides excellent opportunities to learn how formal debates run. Students will develop skills in research, leadership, teamwork, and public speaking. Students write bills dealing with foreign affairs, economics, and public welfare and then debate them according to congressional/parliamentary procedure at tournaments held one Saturday a month. In between the tournaments, students research the bills so they are able to give speeches and ask questions during a debate. No prior experience is necessary.
