1st Semester Activities: Our members compete in both debate and speech events at local tournaments against students from other high schools. Debate events include Public Forum, Student Congress, Policy, and Lincoln Douglas. Speech Events include Oratory Impromptu, and SPAR in addition to Interpretive events such as Reading, Duo, and Humorous.

2nd Semester Activities: Students freely choose topics that they would like to discuss in depth in a semi-formal cross between a socratic seminar and debate. They bring in research and data to support their claims, and after debate and discussion ends the club writes a resolution and passes it (see House Resolutions page for examples).
