MORGAN — Debate is making a comeback at Morgan High School.

A vote from the Morgan County School Board three years ago got the ball rolling, allowing Morgan High to form a debate team. It started as an after-school team activity. Last school year, the team boasted 20 students.

For the 2012-2013 year, the after-school club was supplemented with a Debate I and Debate II class that officially became part of the academic year schedule. Now, the team is up to 35 members, with 21 actively competing at region and state competitions.
