Pin Oak Speech and Debate

Who Are We?

Pin Oak Middle School is home to one of the best speech and debate programs in Houston and the state of Texas. We have focused on HISD district tournaments for a while, but have recently been attending more intense private league tournaments, annual tournaments, and state competitions. Our eyes are locked on the NSDA 2026 Nationals Tournament. Pin Oak's Debate Team members are expected to have high-quality speeches, confidence, and the expectation for effort is great. We offer three forms of debate: Congressional (Congress Style), Public Forum (2v2), and Lincoln Douglas (1v1). We also offer speech events and lip sync.
