On May 15 between 8:15 a.m. and 1:55 p.m., each member of the DVCS Class of 2023 will defend an original thesis statement on a topic of his or her choice in front of a panel of judges. This annual tradition at DVCS is a consummation of what students have learned during their time at the school. Throughout the school year, students research their topics, develop their arguments, and practice to present in a winning manner. They seek to logically, beautifully, and persuasively express ideas grounded in truth.
