This comes to us from Piper Hendrix, the
Instructional Facilitator at Early College of Forsyth:
Early College is
extremely proud of our Debate Team of Michelle Cho and Aisha Riddick, who won
the Environmental Debate Tournament hosted by the Piedmont Environmental
Alliance and Wake Forest Debate.
The debate topic was
"Should we ban cars in the downtown area?"
The final round of the
tournament was held at the 2019 Piedmont Earth Day Fair at the fairgrounds
Saturday, April 13.
The students’ coach was
Alison Wright, who teaches science.
"Going into the
debate, I was just excited to have my students engaging with environmental
issues in our community, and thankful to Piedmont Environmental Alliance and
Wake Forest for providing this venue,” Wright said. “I had never coached a
debate team before, so I didn't know what to expect.”
“The girls really
deserve all the credit for this. I'm so proud of them!"
Cho is a sophomore and
Riddick is a freshman.
The tournament consisted
of 50 rounds of debate and involved 70 students from six high schools. Mayor Allen
Joines presented the tournament trophy.
