In NOVA’s third season of competition, the team did exceptionally well and brought home several regional awards in debate and public speaking and poetry performance. This year at nationals, NOVA students took home silver and bronze medals in Impromptu Speaking and Dramatic Interpretation! It was truly a  great year!
