Bellaire High School Top 16 in the World














Bellaire High School debaters Bo Kim, Jin Kim, Gina
Toumajian, Elizabeth Zhang, Jennifer Knesbach,
Michelle Knesbach, and Zachary Birenbaum qualified
for the Sweet Sixteen round of the 2012 International
Public Policy Forum Debates sponsored by the Bickel
and Brewer Law Firm and the Bickel and Brewer
Foundation.

Hundreds of schools from across the globe submitted research papers on the topic Resolved:
Human missions should be a significant focus of space exploration.  More than 340 high schools -
representing 42 states and 36 foreign countries - registered for the 2010-2011 competition.  Thirty
two papers were chosen to advance to the elimination round competition.  Bellaire advanced against
A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts from Florida.  Bellaire again advanced on a 3-0 decision and is
now debating Brooklyn Technical High School from New York.  Eight schools will advance to public
presentation rounds at New York University in New York City.  If Bellaire advances to the next level
they debate Kaelakehe High School from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii or Team Czech Republic from the
Czech Republic.  Several countries and two other Texas schools are still in competition.
