Remembering R. Kyle Bean
















A new trophy case has been built in the memory of R. Kyle Bean.  The case located in the lobby of
the debate room contains the State and National level championship trophies won by Bellaire
Debaters since the programs inception in 1955.  The trophy case was built by Burt Bailey, father of
Eric Bailey Bellaire class of 2015.  Kyle's mother Laura Bean presented the portrait of her son.  Kyle
debated for Bellaire High School from 2003-2006 before attending Harvard.  He returned in 2013 to
coach the Bellaire CX debate program.  The plaque below the portrait reads:  He achieved
excellence...He inspired excellence in others.
