Allen High School

Speech & Debate

We argue, we research, we get better at saying what we mean. No experience needed — most of us started with none.

What we compete in

Lincoln-Douglas

One-on-one debate about values and ethics. You argue what ought to be true, not just what works.

Public Forum

Two-on-two on current events, argued so that anyone off the street could judge it. The most beginner-friendly way in.

Congress

A simulated Congress. You write legislation, give speeches, and question other members in a full chamber.

Members get Debate Sidekick
