The National Forensic League is proud to announce that Charlotte Tyree from Plymouth High School, has earned a fourth diamond. Ms. Tyree attained a total of 10,038 points on March 31, 2009, (more than one hundred thousand points in debate and contest speaking). Coaches receive 1/10th of their student’s points. Under Ms. Tyree’s instructions, her students earned over 100,380 credit points. Coaches qualify for membership and advanced degrees according to the same schedule provided for students and must apply and pay a membership fee. Coaches who obtained membership as a student can request their points be added to their coaching record. One-tenth of the points earned as a student will be transferred without application or fee.
On attaining a total of 1,500 points, coaches are entitled to wear a diamond-set NFL key or pin; additional diamonds accrue at 3,000, 6,000, 10,000 and each 3,000 points thereafter. Minimum time for each diamond is five years as an NFL member coach. Also the degrees for three coaches within each chapter count towards district standings and tournament apportionment.
In June, Charlotte Tyree will receive special recognition at the Lincoln Financial Group/NFL National Tournament for her devotional dedication in training effective leadership skills. This year’s Stars Fell on Alabama National Tournament will be held in Birmingham, Alabama, June 14-19, 2009 and will draw 2,700 students and 1,500 coaches, school administrators and parents. The National Speech Tournament has been held continuously since 1931 (except for the W.W. II years) and has appeared on the approved list of the National Association of Secondary School Principals National Advisory List of Contests and Activities since origination of the list.
