The National Speech and Debate Organization announced that St. Andrew's senior Ishan Bhatt has been named as a member of the USA Debate Team. This year's USA Debate Team consists of twelve students from throughout the United States who went through a rigorous application and interview process before their selections. During the course of the year, the team will travel to a number of tournaments in the United States and Europe, culminating in the World Schools Debating Championships, to be held in the summer of 2019 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This year's squad will be looking to build on the result of last year's team, who lost a decision to England in the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Schools Debating Championships. Congratulations to Ishan on this incredible accomplishment!
