Six teams will participate in the debate and participants will choose the human relations topic that interests them the most and if they are debating for the affirmative or the opposition.   Job Corps, Wyoming High School, and Woodward High School are three of the schools participating.  Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place teams.

The Great Youth Debate is inspired by the movie, “The Great Debaters,” starring Denzel Washington.  This movie is based on a true story of a head-strong debate coach who formed the students of a small East Texas college into a winning debate team that even beat Harvard’s debate team.

The Debate is a free event and open to the public.
