In the first league Student Congress debate competition of the year, held in October at Hart High School, three Chaminade College Preparatory 9th graders were among the top finishers.

Jackie Mulcahy ’18, who is not a member of Chaminade Speech & Debate Society (CSDS), but takes intro speech and debate at Chaminade, earned first place in her house of congress. While new CSDS member, Kyle Hayes ’18 placed first in his house of congress. Another new CSDS member, Brandon Kim ’18, CSDS, finished third in his house of congress.

Both Jackie and Kyle were mentored by Andrea Herrera ’16, who successfully suggested her topic to abolish the death penalty. Andrea is in advance debate at Chaminade.

The objective of the training was to build team spirit and brainstorm on organizing events for the middle school. The middle school diversity team enjoyed collaborating with the older students and  the newfound camaraderie in working toward a common goal: to always treat others with kindness and compassion.

This year, the middle school diversity team will sponsor two Mix It Up lunches, the signing of the Middle School Eagle Pledge, and  support the house pillar activities. In addition, they will organize and supervise the “Miles of Quarters” charity event in honor of the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles.
