Newly appointed debate team coach Ms. Albornoz reports that for the third year Miami High will be participating in the Urban Debate League. She says that this year’s topic focuses on Education Reform, specifically Title 1 funding.

Their first competition will be October 21^st. In November, there will be a practice debate here at school; all faculty and students are welcome to watch.  The team also plans to participate in the Fairchild Challenge Debate for the first time on January 27. The debate will focus on environmental issues.

She reminds students that joining debate improves public speaking skills and opens door to scholarship opportunities. If anyone is interested in joining, see Ms. Albornoz in room 3121 or stop by at the meetings, which are held every Friday afterschool at 2:30 pm.
