The cancellation of the 2020 season last year meant the Saline High School Science Olympiad competition team had to pivot to new goals.  After a very productive summer of giving back to the community in this time of need and being featured on WXYZ for their efforts, the fall arrived, and the team trained to work in a new virtual setting.  

In a year that many want to forget and move forward, the Saline Debate Team will fondly remember 2020 because they won state titles and many other awards. The Varsity High School Debate Team, of seniors Abby Berwick and Paige Haddas, took first place in the Michigan Interscholastic Forensic Association state finals. They debated the resolution that the United States should adopt a declaratory nuclear policy of no first use. Additionally, the Novice High School Congressional Debate Team, specifically first year Sarah Yousif, took first place in the state competition.
