Senior Class News - important graduation information
Congrats to Debaters - State Champions!!
Using economic sanctions to achieve foreign policy objectives and
increasing social services for persons living in poverty were the
topics argued at the 2010 State Debate Tournament – the 109th edition
and longest-running event of the Minnesota State High School League. The results of eight rounds of debate proved that Tamar Kaplan and
Andrew Hall of St. Paul Highland Park were the very best policy
debaters. Kaplan and Hall drew the affirmative argument, arguing for
the United States federal government increasing social services for
persons living in poverty. They won the debate by a 4-3 margin over an Edina Team.
