300 Debaters Visit SHS for Invitational Tournament

On Friday February 7th and Saturday February 8th the Scarsdale High School Speech and Debate team hosted the 10th Annual Scarsdale Debate Invitational. This year's tournament featured close to 300 students from 26 schools from seven different states. Scarsdale High School physics teacher and debate team coach Joe Vaughan, along with many high school students from the team and their parents, organized the event and provided hospitality for the competitors and coaches throughout the weekend. The proceeds from the tournament will help fund Scarsdale's many qualifiers for the State and National Tournaments for which our students have qualified. This coming weekend the High School Speech and Debate Team heads to Harvard University for the Harvard National High School Invitational Forensics Tournament, which is held in Cambridge each Presidents' Weekend, and is one of the most prestigious high school speech and debate tournaments in the country.
