Academic All-american front holding certificates surround by school and district staff and board members

Waccamaw High School and Georgetown County School District are celebrating a first-ever milestone for both the school and the District—four WHS students have been named Academic All Americans by the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA).

Congratulations to WHS Windtalkers:

  • Charles Gates

  • Eleanor Forrest

  • Delaney Tempalsky

  • Sofia Nicastro

This prestigious honor is awarded to students who achieve Superior Distinction, maintain a 3.7+ GPA, and demonstrate leadership, character, and excellence in speech and debate. Less than 2% of NSDA members nationwide receive this recognition.

Along with their coach Ree Lawson, these students were recognized at the February 4 GCSD Board of Trustees Meeting for their outstanding accomplishments.

Way to go, Windtalkers!
