Debate Tournament

The debate team just arrived back from the University of Pennsylvania for their annual debate tournament. Students competed against public and private high schools across the nation, and placed higher than they have in the history of debate at Manual.

Among their accomplishments are “two quarter finalists in Lincoln Douglas (LD), three top 16 teams in LD, the top speaker in LD, two varsity and two junior varsity teams that broke into the top 24 teams, of which one went on to semi-finals and one member was a top ten speaker,” said Erica Cooper.
