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.
