The Hebron Standard has just been awarded University of Kentucky Tournament of Champions bid tournament status for all of our speech events!!! We are now a TOC, NIETOC, and TFA bid tournament!!! This positions us as a tournament of the highest caliber in the nation!!!
They did it!!! 6A State Champions! The girls fought hard in the rain and won by 7 strokes! Amazing end to the season. Congrats girls for all of your hard work and determination this year to get you to today.
Govind also appears to be the first person from LewisvilleISD to qualify to elim rounds at NIETOC since no later than 2011. Looking at results packets to see how far this goes back (or if Govind is the first from our district to be in elimination rounds at NIETOC).
GOVIND!! is in Octos (top 60 in the nation) of Extemp at the National Independent Events Tournament of Champions)!!! This is @Hebron_HS 1st time at NIETOC, Govind’s 1st time at NIETOC, & our 1st appearance in any elimination round in speech events at any national championship.
We’ve got two amazing first years— Kiyaan A. and Hunter W. who are in the finals of the Texas Novice State Championship for Extemporaneous Speaking!!! This is also Hunter’s first tournament ever!!!
We got confirmation!! Govind Will be Hebron’s first student in extemporaneous speaking for domestic issues at the national Speech and Debate Association national championship!! What an incredible season!
Today we are cheering on Govind!! He is the first @Hebron_HS student to ever compete in Extemp at the University of Kentucky’s Tournament of Champions!! We are so excited and proud of him!! Go Govind!! You are amazing!!!
So proud and excited to formally announce that Anjali D. has qualified in Original Oratory to the National Speech and Debate Association National Championship!!!! A first in @Hebron_HS history in her event!!!!
