Why Volunteering Matters
“It sounds simple, but MHS speech and debate sharpens the critical thinking skills needed to excel. One universal skill that applies to every situation and field is the ability to learn quickly. This activity trains that skill more than anything else!”
“MHS Debate was the best part of my Oklahoma education experience. I was treated as an intelligent woman in a time when I very much needed to be taken seriously. It is so important for young people to feel like they have power within themselves.”
“This team prepared me to be successful in college. I was able to excel when it came to researching, and articulating my thoughts in class—skills I have been able to still utilize and build upon in my professional life!”
“This team prepared me in research fundamentals and briefing skills, which are incredibly vital to my current job. I’ve briefed countless aircrews in critical intelligence updates, significant aircraft events, threat assessments, and on-the-spot analysis. The Debate Team helped me step into a skillset that’s been invaluable to my career.”
“Speech & Debate is for any student who wants to grow into a confident, articulate, and thoughtful individual. This activity develops skills that are critical for success in school, college, career, and life: public speaking, critical thinking, research, writing, collaboration, and the ability to listen respectfully and respond effectively.”
“Participating in the MHS speech and debate team was a truly valuable experience. I was able to overcome my fear of public speaking and learned about causes that I am passionate about and work for to this very day. It was a great environment to learn and grow in.”
“Easily my favorite part about being on the MHS Speech & Debate team was the friends I made. Once you get to know each other, which is super easy on those long bus rides to tournaments, it’s real easy to turn into a “family” mentality. I wish nothing but the best for all my former MHS Speech & Debate family.”

“Speech and Debate opened a world of opportunities for me. Without the discipline and listening skills I learned in Debate; I may never have grown into a lifelong learner. I loved debate so much that I wanted everyone to do it. So I became a teacher. Debate changes lives.”
