UIL debate: a student’s perspective

A pair of well-dressed students sit in a classroom, whispering to each other in hushed and urgent tones, shuffling papers, scratching down notes on legal pads, and looking through “the box.” Another pair of students sit across from them, waiting silently. The judge in the room waits as well, pen and paper with remarks at the ready. The students’ whispering stops as a timer goes off, one of them stands, crosses to a podium, clutching their papers, and clears their throat. After a moment to acknowledge the room, they begin to speak. Scenes like this take place every season in Texas UIL high school debate, one of the most renowned extracurriculars offered at the high school level. While it can seem daunting for parents or aspiring students to understand or get their foot in the door, debate is one of the most rewarding challenges an Alpine High School student can take on and is worth the work. Debate Coach Matthew Chavez believes that “competing against other schools’ top debaters creates a thrill that cannot be compared to academically.”
