Open to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders.

• Season: October-April
• Meeting Day: Debate meets twice a month on Wednesdays

• Team members will compete against other junior high schools at Stevenson High School.

Students are required to attend all meetings in order to successfully prepare for the final tournament. The knowledge gained is cumulative throughout the school year; the bills and preparation will be done in class, however some outside research may need to take place in order to prepare for the tournaments. Due to the amount of information given during meetings, students who miss three meetings may be disqualified from the team due to lack of preparedness.

School-appropriate behavior is required for all Debate team activities. Students must meet academic and behavior standards set for all co-curricular sports and activities in the handbook. Per the application, students will agree to the following: I understand that being a part of the debate team requires me to attend and adequately prepare for the tournaments. It is my responsibility to be an active participant and attend all meetings. Missing more than thre meetings may result in dismissal from the team.
