Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy (HBHA) has announced the launch of its first-ever National Speech and Debate Association team for the 2024-2025 season.
This initiative will offer upper school students an opportunity to enhance their public speaking, critical thinking and leadership abilities while competing at a national level. HBHA teacher and parent Alexa Cohen will lead the team.
As a new team, HBHA’s top two students will qualify to represent the school at the National Speech and Debate Association competition in Des Moines, Iowa. Beyond the experience, students will have the chance to earn national recognition and awards for their skills and dedication.
To participate in the team, students are required to enroll in both the debate winterim and the debate elective, with competitions set to begin in February. More information about the debate team is available by contacting Alexa Cohen at .
