NFL Student of the Year Shines
RIPON, Wisc. — The National Forensic League Student of the Year award recognizes a person who applies forensic skills and values beyond competition. He or she will uphold the NFL Code of Honor by pursuing the highest standards of integrity, humility, respect, leadership, and service.
The 2009 National Student of the Year, Danielle Camous, is an alumna of St. Mary’s High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Danielle earned awards in debate, Congress, and US Extemp during her four-year career and achieved a degree of Premier Distinction. She is now a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Each month, Danielle writes the Student of the Year Spotlight column in Rostrum, providing insight on growing and thriving in forensics.
Danielle’s predecessor, Kyle Akerman, is an alumnus of Downers Grove South High School in Downers Grove, Illinois. He also achieved a degree of Premier Distinction during his NFL career and excelled in interpretation events. Kyle is now a student at the University of Texas-Austin, where he competes as a member of the award-winning forensics team.
The National Forensic League calls on coaches to nominate a deserving graduating senior NFL member for the District Student of the Year award, making her/him eligible for the National Student of the Year, who will become a spokesperson for the activity of debate and speech, and the benefits it brings young people. The NFL has several mechanisms for recognizing competitive achievement, but this program annually rewards students whose attitude transcends trophies and accolades; a student who characterizes the very traits of humility, integrity, leadership, respect and service touted by the NFL Code of Honor.
