My name is Khush Parikh and I am a junior at Montville Township Highschool. I have been doing debate for three years, and have placed in multiple tournaments and in multiple categories. More specifically, I have won the State Tournament for Varsity Parliamentary Debate, am the New Jersey State Qualifier in Big Questions Debate to the National Speech and Debate League Tournament, and was the 1st Seed and Semi-Finalist in the JV Lincoln Douglas 2021 State Tournament. The various debate forms that I enjoy are Public Forum, Lincoln-Douglas, and Parliamentary Debate. Debate has improved my skills in public speaking and provided me with a community in which I can truly express myself.

The Governor’s Awards in Arts Education began in 1980 to promote awareness and appreciation of the arts, recognizing the creativity, talent and leadership of the award winners. Each year, awards are presented to approximately 20 educators and 80 students. National and statewide organizations select the students for their exemplary work in creative writing, speech, dance, music, theatre and visual arts and the leaders for their exceptional commitment and contribution to arts education. The program also recognizes arts educators and arts education advocates, whose leadership has helped nurture the development of students in the arts across the state.
