High School Debate 2012

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is pleased to sponsor its annual High School Debate Workshop program. Thousands of students and teachers have honed their forensic skills at our one-day workshops, which are designed to enhance the debate season for all schools through informative speakers, free materials, and up-to-date news and research on the debate topic. If you have any questions about these educational events, please contact Workshop Director Kendra Shrode at 989-631-0900 or by .

For workshop information, visit the 2012-2013 Debate Site.

The Mackinac Center will once again offer $1,000 college scholarships to each of four students winning our writing contest related to the topic. Please note that students need not be active debaters to enter the contest! Any student attending the workshop is eligible.
