Congratulations AITE Debaters Minh Ho and Tanisha Alilaikannan!
Minh came in 4th place at the Coolidge Cup Qualifying Tournament held at Yale University. Minh was awarded an all expenses paid trip to Vermont this Summer to compete in the Coolidge Cup Finals.
At the Connecticut Debate Association tournament held at Westhill, Tanisha won 5th speaker out of 170 competitors from across the state. She also earned a bid to the State Championship tournament in March. The motion debated was: "This House prefers that Ukraine pursue a negotiated peace with Russia."

We have an open house for prospective families on December 7th at 6 PM. Please join us!

Debate teams from AITE, Stamford High and Westhill put on an exhibition last night for State Street Debating Society at their monthly meeting. The teams debated the value of college, age limits for elected officials, and US policy towards China (AITE Seniors pictured left to right: Victoria Gibek, Michael Iacovacci, Matthew Awad, Ashlyn Rufus).
