    My Educational Philosophy

    Speech and Debate is a highly collaborative, student-centered classroom. At ACPHS, S&D is not an after school club, but rather a class. After school practices are only open to those who are enrolled in this class. There is a strong emphasis on character development and leadership. We have two core values: 1) "See the picture" i.e. don't just see the trophies, but focus on the more valuable things we get from S&D; 2) "Iron sharpens iron" i.e. we make each other better by learning from one another.
