Victory Okoroji is a senior at Hastings High School in Texas. She began her speech and debate journey in middle school as a debater. In high school, she found her passion for advocacy through interpretation, launching her career as an “interper.”
She qualified for state in Dramatic Interpretation as a freshman and excelled as a sophomore, reaching octo-finals at Harvard, qualifying for NIETOC and nationals, and quarter-finaling in Prose. Her junior year was a breakthrough, with numerous local wins, five state qualifications, a third-place finish in Program Oral Interpretation at TFA state, and she was crowned the 2024 NSDA National Champion in POI this past summer. Starting her senior year strong, Victory won first place in Oratory at the University of Texas at Austin tournament. She believes this is just the beginning and is excited to be at ISD this summer!
