Congratulations to MJS debate on a successful year!
This past weekend marks the end of Mayfield Junior School's second season in the Rancho California Debate League. This year was highlighted by back to back tournament wins at the Mayfield, and Clifton league tournaments, and qualifying three teams to compete at the debate nationals which was held this past weekend at Polytechnic School. Though none of our teams placed, our students embodied leadership, class and great character throughout the day.
Zoe is Amazing!
