Pius X Senior Named Student of the Year
Each year, the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) recognizes a student of the year from each of Nebraska’s two NSDA districts (Nebraska is divided into two districts including schools from all classes). Pius X Senior Monica Marsolek was selected as the Nebraska South District Student of the Year. The Nebraska South District chairperson presented this award to Monica on Friday, March 18, at a school assembly.
The District Student of the Year award is presented to a graduating senior in each district who best represents the tenets of the Association’s Code of Honor: integrity, respect, humility, leadership, and service. Nominees must also demonstrate strong academic credentials and a commitment to the speech and debate community. Each year, six students who win the district award are selected as finalists for the William Woods Tate, Jr., National Student of the Year award.
