𝔚ith immense pride, we congratulate the delegates of the DNHS Debate Guild for representing our school at the 𝑲𝑵𝑨𝑷4. Every speech delivered, every point defended, and every round complete reflected your determination and unwavering passion for debating.
while the tournament may not have ended with a championship title, it gave us something far more experience, confidence, and lessons that will shape us into stronger debaters and better leaders. Those are victories that no scoreboard can ever define.

This House has officially found its path, and our students are more than ready to take the microphone, share their ideas, and stand up for what they believe is right.

As we welcome School Year 2026–2027, we do so with excitement, courage, and a passion for empowering young learners to speak with confidence and purpose. The Debate Guild Club Organization and Members' Assembly was successfully conducted on June 11, 2026, at Building 27, Room 3, Fort Covered Court Area.

As we welcomed our new members, our adviser, Ven Vincent Velasco, together with the senior debaters, conducted an orientation about the roles, responsibilities, and valuable skills that every member can develop throughout their journey in Debate Guild. They also shared helpful tips and insights on how to confidently voice out opinions and become effective communicators.

This marks the beginning of another year filled with learning, leadership, and meaningful discussions. Here's to a year of finding our voices and making them heard!
