THS Debate is back and our novices are doing AMAZING this season!

We opened our season at Washburn Rural where Austin Sorensen was 2nd speaker in the novice division for first year debaters! Overall, our teams did very well at one of the most difficult tournaments in Kansas.
Novice Erwin & Sedgwick - 2-3
Novice Shriner & Sorensen - 3-2
Open Brewer & Thomas - 2-4
Open Dean & Martin - 3-3
Open Stoltenberg & Thomas - 3-3

Next, we traveled to St. James Academy where our only team of Aireanna Helms-Jones and Stephen Sedgwick won the entire novice division! They did so well that Tongie also won the sweepstakes award, meaning Helms-Jones & Sedgwick (HS) won Tongie the entire tournament by themselves!
HS ended with a perfect 4-0 record and only dropped one speaker rank the entire tournament. This means Helms-Jones and Sedgwick were ranked as the top two debaters in every round except for one, where they were ranked the first and third debater.

Congratulations and what a fantastic start to the season for Tongie Debate!

Brenton Provance is one of our many students at THS that take advantage of our Career and Technical Education partnerships. Brenton is enrolled in the Electrical Program at the KCKCC Pioneer Career Center. He is learning to strip cable and wire by matching the correct gauge size to the stripping tool notch, scoring the outer sheath or insulation, and pulling it away without nicking the inner copper conductor. Keep up the good work Brenton!

We are PROUD to introduce the 2026–27 BIG RED TEAM CAPTAINS!

These students have stepped up to take on a leadership role within Big Red and we are excited to see what they bring to our student section this year.

Being a Big Red Captain is about more than leading cheers. It’s about school spirit, participation, sportsmanship, leadership, and making sure our student section is THE place to be on game night.

Help us congratulate our captains and get ready for a BIG year of CHIEFTAIN PRIDE!

❤️🤍 LET’S GO, BIG RED!
