About the Milwaukee Debate League
Golda has a long legacy of strong debaters. But for some reason, debate disappeared in Milwaukee at the middle school level last year. We are very pleased that Milwaukee Public Schools will once again partner with Milwaukee Debate League. Through generous sponsorship MDL has made a true investment into our middle school community and the success of the program a few years ago was phenomenal!
This year's topic will be "Standardized Testing ." Our season starts with on Oct 1st. Students are strongly encouraged to attend. Milwaukee Debate League fosters a spirit of kindness and mentorship. Many rock stars from the high school level come to support our middle-schoolers during their tournaments. Each tournament, participants nominate judges who were the most helpful mentors as well as peers who are the most dedicated to the process. For extra resources for students and parents regarding updated locations for events, and the affirmative and negative cases please refer to the MDL website.

Middle School Debate Team
Golda has had a long history of some of the most dazzling middle school debaters in Milwaukee. Last year our debate team did an amazing job! Students were not only wonderful mentors to one another on the team, they were courteous mentors to other debaters. For their attention to details, ability to argue both sides of an issue well, Golda Meir debaters won award after award. Araceli Mercer and Sebel Fusi became the first ever, 2013-14 Milwaukee Debate League City Champions! Sebel Fusi was also honored the first ever, Milwaukee Debate League Speaker of the 2013 Year Award. It was magic to see all of the hard work the team put into their season pay off in trophy after trophy.
The 2014-15 year will soon prove to be just as exciting.
