Carla Reisman, Lee’s Summit West High School debate and forensic coach, recently earned the Donus Roberts Quad Ruby coach recognition from the National Forensic League (NFL). This recognition indicates that Ms. Reisman has achieved the coaching milestone of 1,000 points during her career. Coaches receive 1/10th of a point for each point a student earns during competition.
The National Forensic League is the nation’s oldest and largest speech and debate honor society. Its mission is to promote secondary school speech and debate activities and interscholastic competition as a means to develop a student’s lifelong skills and values, as well as the public’s awareness of the value of speech, debate and communications education.
The Donus Roberts Quad Ruby coach recognition is named for longtime NFL coach and past NFL Board President Donus Roberts. Hailing from South Dakota, Mr. Roberts received his ninth coaching diamond in 2006, becoming the only coach in the history of NFL to receive a ninth diamond. For his outstanding achievements in forensic coaching, he was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1987.
