There s not much these days that COVID-19 hasn t cancelled, modified or otherwise disrupted.
But that hasn t stopped local high school students from using their shared love of debate to keep learning and connecting with each other during the pandemic.
Their dedication recently led to several local high schools qualifying for the state debate tournament including Hurricane High School and Cedar High School.
The region debate tournament was held in-person at Hurricane High School from February 26-27, with participants wearing masks, practicing social distancing and being tested for COVID-19 beforehand.
And though the wins are exciting, the skills students learn in researching, speaking civilly and understanding other points of view are invaluable.
