As a Junior attending Rising Star Academy, The experience with clubs specifically the Debate team has been excellent. I went to a couple of debates and enjoyed the learning experience. I've learned so much at the school especially when I joined the Debate team, I had no prior experience debating with other schools. Rising Star Academy has taught me a lot in the two years that I have been here and I plan on learning so much more continuing on to my senior year.
