Prosper High School student, Tanish Chauhan just reached Premier Distinction, the highest degree in the National Speech & Debate Association Honor Society!
Please join us in congratulating Tanish on this outstanding achievement. Of the millions of NSDA members, fewer than 3% of NSDA members earn Premier Distinction prior to graduation! "Tanish leads our program with constant commitment, not only to his own growth, but to the success of our team and the betterment of our community. He is always willing to step in wherever he’s needed, and he goes above and beyond by learning events he doesn’t even compete in so he can be an asset to everyone. His dedication and generosity set the standard for what true leadership looks like," explained PHS Speech and Debate Coach, Hannah Rodriguez.
This milestone is a celebration of the hundreds of hours Tanish has spent preparing, practicing, and competing to hone his skills in communication as well as his amazing leadership skills.
