High School Debate Team Stands Out!

The New Rochelle High School Debate Team took on 22 other schools in the Beginner Division at Brooklyn Technical High School to debate the following topic

Resolved: The United States Federal Government should legalize all illicit drugs. 

This was only the team's second tournament and some of the pairings first time at a tournament and the results were amazing!

  • Team Shammas & Khan placed #2 in the Overall Team category, taking home a trophy after winning all 3 rounds in the tournament
  • Team Belfast & Doucet placed #7 in the Overall Team category taking home medals
  • Team Gooden & Geohagen placed #12 in the Overall Team category
  • Abigail Shammas placed #1 for Best Speaker for the division taking home another trophy
  • Julian Belfast placed #5 in the Speaker category taking home another medal 
  • Noor Khan placed #13 in the Speaker category

We are so incredibly proud of the work our students are doing in preparing and attending these debate tournaments throughout the American Debate League. 

We know they have many more wins ahead of them!
