Our Company Values
Our Mission
Our Mission is to enrich the academic experience of all students from Duval County Public Schools through participation in competitive team policy debate. DUDL is especially interested in students with untapped potential, who are disengaged from the contemporary classroom setting. Through debate, students prepare to become engaged learners, critical thinkers and citizens who are effective advocates for themselves, their families, and their community.
