“ I joined to gain perspective on international and national news and current events, as well as to gain speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills. Being on the team has already noticeably improved these skills, both in and outside of school.”

— Former Director of Administration Jazzie Kennedy

“Debating isn’t easy. Mastering it takes hours of practice, an extensive knowledge of current events, and a quick wit. That said, debate is rewarding. Enjoy the experience, it’s one of the best high school clubs that you can enter.”

— Former Vice-President Ben Curl

"Debate has helped me in almost every aspect of my life, from public speaking to staying informed about current events. It is truly something which everyone can enjoy and learn from. No matter what your strengths or weaknesses are, there is a place for you on the BHS speech and debate team. It hasn't all been easy, but it has been so worth it."

— Former President Uma Nagarajan Swenson
