On all debate trips our primary concern is the safety of our students. We have a large coaching staff who works with and chaperones students. After that, trips are about learning, having fun, and of course winning.

In a typical year, members of the GBN Debate team travel to competitions at:

Pine Crest (FL)

University of Michigan (MI)

Michigan State (MI)

Emory University (GA)

Northwestern (IL)

Montgomery Bell Academy (TN)

St. Marks School (TX)

Dowling (IA)

How much does this cost?

$0

The debate team does one annual fundraiser the weekend before Thanksgiving; we host the largest national speech and debate tournament in the country with teams flying in from almost every state. We ask our team members and their parents to help us this one weekend to raise the money that enables us to provide debate at no cost for our team members.
