At ANS, the Debate program empowers students to master critical thinking and effective communication on an international stage. This commitment to excellence was evident at the recent AASCA Debate Tournament in Guatemala, where our students demonstrated remarkable skill and resilience.

Our teams achieved outstanding results across all divisions:

• Varsity: 2nd Place 

• Junior Varsity: 3rd Place 

• Middle School: 3rd Place 

We also recognize Luis Balladares and Sofía Ortega, who received Honorable Mentions as Varsity Best Speakers.

Their dedication not only brings honor to ANS but inspires our entire community to lead with confidence.

The ANS chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) celebrated a significant milestone yesterday, inducting new members selected for their unwavering commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, and character, adding a total of 55 members. This rigorous selection process highlights students who are ready to transform academic excellence into active community leadership.

Distinguished alumnus and parent Mr. Roberto Rondon honored the ceremony, emphasizing that values like integrity and perseverance are essential tools for life beyond school. His reflections resonated deeply, reminding us that NHS membership is not just a recognition, but a continuous call to action.
