Niceville High School Debate team students qualified and competed at the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Dallas, Texas, June 16 – 21. June Simrun Sharma, senior, competed in Original Oratory and placed as an Octafinalist and four-year national qualifier; Eshaan Sharma , a junior, qualified and competed in International Extemporaneous Debate, and Elva Diaz, a senior, qualified and competed in World Schools Debate.

Today, the Florida Department of Education released assessment results from the spring testing window to great anticipation. A shortened testing window established by the Florida Legislature effectively limited testing to one month at the end of the school year and allowed for more time for teachers and students to engage in the learning process.
