Debate Season starts NOW

The Southwest Debate Team is now in the research stage of the season. The first topic is about immigration and citizenship for those currently in the United States.

The team is open to any interested student at Southwest. The tournament season starts in Oct. and end in Dec. The tournaments are held on Saturdays in the metro area. The state tournament is the first weekend in December.

9th graders are encouraged to consider joining the team. There are three level of competition - novice, junior varsity and varsity. The team works together to building cases and rebuttal speeches.

If you are interested in business, politics, law, theater or just want to have influence, debate is a great learning activity. For more information check out the Southwest web site or talk or email Dr. Smith.
