Speech and Debate

Students have the opportunity to compete in local, state, and national tournaments in a wide variety of categories, from Public Forum debate to Original Oratory. Many of our Speech and Debate participants have won high honors at championship high school competitions. Students approach current-event topics through the Jewish textual lens as they analyze, craft, and deliver speeches and engage in debate.
