January 8, 2026 — The Southlake Style reports students from Carroll Senior High School have advanced to the Top 32 teams worldwide in the 25th annual International Public Policy Forum (IPPF), a global debate competition sponsored by the Brewer Foundation and New York University.
The Carroll Senior team returns to the international field after winning last year’s Brewer Cup and earning the IPPF
World Champion title. Amber Lin also received the John E. Sexton Award for Best Speaker in the prior competition. The 2025–26 IPPF drew a record 332 teams from 39 countries, and Carroll Senior remains in contention for an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City and the competition’s $10,000 grand prize as the field narrows toward the Elite Eight oral debates next spring.
