Students in Penn-Trafford High School’s Spectrum Program welcomed students from Franklin Regional, Burrell, Valley, and Southmoreland School Districts in late October to debate topics in a public forum. After six weeks of research, the students debated social and political issues. Penn-Trafford entered five teams in the competition and two teams emerged as winners.
Seolri (Chloe) Yun and Grady Swartz won their debate arguing the resolution: The United Nations should abolish permanent membership on its Security Council.
Penn-Trafford students Alex Serapiglia and Josh Maust won their debate arguing the resolution: The United States federal government should forgive all federal student loan debt.
Penn-Trafford student-judges - Michael Harris, Mya, Adithri Pingali, Ella Malloy, and Rachael Gill - moderated the debates
