Debate Assistant Sponsor

Duties

The H-F Debate Team competes locally, regionally, and nationally in Policy Debate, a two-person activity centering on potential changes to government policies. Students also compete in Lincoln Douglas Value Debate, Public Forum Debate, and Student Congressional Legislative Debate at the IHSA Debate State.

The sponsor must attend related meetings and events. The season runs from September through March, during which time debaters attend more than 20 competitions in 8 states - though no debater is required to attend all competitions. First year meetings are held after school; students interested in pursuing Debate beyond their first year are encouraged to enroll in Debate Seminar, an Honors elective course offered through the English Department.

Debaters have a chance to qualify for the IHSA State Finals, held yearly in March, the prestigious National Tournament of Champions, held yearly in May, and the National Forensics League National Tournament, held yearly in June. The H-F Debate team participates in the National Forensics League, a student honor society recognizing the importance of interscholastic Speech and Debate.
