The Village School Students Excel at National Speech and Debate Tournament

The Village School Students Excel at National Speech and Debate Tournament - NSDA tournament
The Village School’s Speech and Debate teams went above and beyond at the National Speech and Debate Championship Tournament in Phoenix, AZ this month.
Our students made up one of the most successful teams in the country. Out of the 1,320 schools in attendance, The Village School placed among the top 20, making it the first time in school history for a Village team to rank this high. The school also had the highest success rate in the tournament as the only team in the country with more than three entries to break 100%. Multiple middle school students also brought home awards such as Overall Speech and Debate Top School of Excellence, Overall Speech School of Excellence, and Overall Debate School of Excellence as well as taking 1st place for Storytelling. Thank you to the Speech and Debate sponsors, The John Templeton Foundation and The Arthur N. Rupe Foundation for your dedication to these students this past year and to the chaperones who accompanied these students to the tournament!
