Mountain Brook High School Debate Team hosts the Betty Gunn Invitational

The Mountain Brook Spartan Debate Team hosted its annual debate tournament, The Betty Gunn Invitational, Feb. 6-7 at the MBHS campus.  High school students from Alabama and neighboring states competed in speech and debate events. In lieu of competing at the tournament, current and former members of the MBHS Debate Team, along with their parents, coaches and other school personnel, host the event and ensure a successful tournament, enhancing team camaraderie, character, and problem-based learning. 

Named for the team’s long-time debate coach, Betty Gunn, the tournament also offers an annual alumni luncheon where Mrs. Gunn’s former debaters regroup, reconnect and reminisce.
