OAK RIDGE, Texas -- The Oak Ridge mission statement is to “Provide an educational environment so that students will SOAR...” Which means to Strive to achieve the highest levels of academic achievement. Operate as responsible citizens in a rapidly changing world. Awaken a positive image in self and others; and Recognize that education is not received but achieved. No one can uphold that statement better than the ORHS Debate team.

We achieve the highest level of academic achievement by being one of the few organizations in CISD to be able to place an academic seal on your high school diploma. We operate as responsible citizens in a rapidly changing world because that is exactly what is entailed in the debate program. Every topic we argue is current, real world problems, and allows us to look at these situations from 2 completely different perspectives, and responsibly argue to take action for against them. We awaken a positive image of self and others by the various amounts of community service such as ringing bells for the Salvation Army, inspiring charity and selflessness to our peers and in our community. We also recognize that education is not received but achieved in everything we do. From using skills learned in everyday life, to competing at tournaments and achieving the spot of top 10% in the nation.

The ORHS Debate team really does SOAR
