The final Montgomery County Debate League tournament was at Blair yesterday. Roughly 2/3 of the finalists were from RM or BCC. Those are the competitive teams currently.

How is the debate program at MBHS? Is it a serious program with good funding and performance at competitions. We are not zoned for BCC and I have heard that their program is amongst the best. Do both magnet and gen pop students participate at Blair? And what is the time commitment? Thanks!
