Debate Club
Teacher Contact: Mr. Soffer
The Debate Club meets after school from 3:00-4:00 PM every Thursday beginning in October. Debate Club is an extracurricular activity that promotes relationships between students outside the classroom. Debate Club is the ideal space to deal with current issues, thus awakening the interest of students and encouraging them to develop critical thinking that allows them to get to the bottom of the matters and form their own opinion about them. By offering students the possibility of debating a topic in an orderly manner, respecting turns of speech, and arguing their position in public with data and contrasted information, this club opportunity provides students with interpersonal skills that will benefit their future career possibilities.
