Debate Team Announcement

Congratulations to our very own Mr. Dibinga-Chota on his first Diamond Award! Here's what he has to say about his great accomplishment:

"Dear NDCS,

I'm thrilled to announce that I've earned my first Diamond Award from the National Speech and Debate Association, a first for NDCS! This follows my receipt of the Donus D. Roberts Coaching Award, which I learned about late last semester due to the recent lockdowns, so I missed the recognition ceremony at Nationals in Chicago, Illinois.

The Diamond Award is a prestigious recognition for coaches, requiring 15,000 points and at least five years of coaching since achieving the degree of merit, earned through students' achievements. Since 1925, the NSDA has recognized student and coach achievements through points earned in various activities. Recipients of the Diamond Award, one of the association's highest honors, are recognized during the Donus D. Roberts Diamond Assembly at the National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa, this June 2024.

Thank you all for your support of our student/debaters over the years, and especially for our parents and guardians who continue to support our kids in this academic competition.

Thank you kindly, and have a nice day"
