THE NHI AT EL PASO GREAT DEBATE
The Great Debate is NHI's exclusive 9th grade leadership experience. The NHI at El Paso Great Debate team brings together the brightest young minds from across the borderland region.
The Great Debate (formerly known as the Young Leaders Conference) gives high-achieving 9th grade students the opportunity to represent their community at an international young leaders conference through organized discussions and debates about issues that impact today's global Latino community. This allows students to test and improve their written and verbal communication skills and gain confidence and appreciation of communication as a powerful tool in leadership. Students gain experience creating content-rich arguments, communicating them through powerful, eloquent expression, and carefully analyzing the arguments presented by their peers. Most importantly, students begin to immerse themselves in the everyday issues that face the global Latino community.
