About this Event
Hosted by the non-profit, non-partisan Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute, this series offers high school students a unique opportunity to sharpen their critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation skills. Unlike traditional debate formats, this series emphasizes thoughtful deliberation and impactful discourse—essential tools for tomorrow’s leaders.
Compete alongside the region’s top students at the Cheyenne Regional Debate Competition at East High School on April 19 or join our online competition on May 30–31.
