OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD LIFELONG SKILLS IN CRITICAL THINKING, PUBLIC SPEAKING AND RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE.
The McCallum Speech & Debate program was founded three years ago to train students to communicate ideas clearly using logic and strong evidence. Debating teaches students important life skills to make better decisions and build plans of action. Whether it’s a business decision or a political one, debate is an important tool.
The team has grown rapidly. It now sends debate teams to tournaments around Texas and occasionally across the nation.
Last monthm, the team hosted the
McCallum Second Annual Debate Tournament November 22, 2025
As a growing debate program, we’d love for you to be part of our journey.
Join us and help shape our future!
