Taft Debate Team Beats Northside & Lincoln Park

Taft Debate sent a team (conference champions Jade Ivy & Kirstin Ivy) to the CDL Invitational  National Qualifier held at Mayer-Brown's Chicago law offices. The new CPS Board president was among the judges at the debate and our team placed 6th among the elite teams invited from Chicago. The girls beat Northside College Prep and Lincoln Park but, in the end we did lose to Whitney Young and Lane Tech. Taft was the highest placed neighborhood school! City championships are coming soon and Taft will field six teams - Good Luck Debaters!
