Eaglebrook’s Debate Club creates a venue for students to share their different thoughts about social issues in a formal manner and is open to debaters with distinct skill sets. 

The Debate Club aims to create an open learning environment during weekly meetings. In these meetings, the club takes part in many different activities that vary from debate exercises to actual debates that focus on building fundamental debate and public speaking skills. The team also participates in multiple competitions. The most notable one is the St. Sebastian’s Debate Open at St. Sebastian’s School, where the team competes against multiple high school teams in an extemporaneous two-versus-two debate format. 

The team also participates in Model United Nations (MUN), which is a speech competition where students represent nations and debate about possible resolutions to global issues in different committees. The most recent Model UN event the team has gone to was at Northeastern University where three pairs of underformers debated in three different committees.

The Debate Club is an exceptional opportunity to share each other’s knowledge and ideas for both new and experienced debaters. If you are interested in joining the club, contact Ms. Pleasant or talk to any current members.
