Over the past ten years, NDF has consistently produced some of the nation’s most successful debaters, including the 2001 TOC, NCFL, and NFL champions.

From 2002 on, there has been at least one NDF debater in the final round of Harvard; in 2004 and 2005, both the champion and runner-up were NDF alumni. NDF students have also won Lexington for the last four consecutive years, and have placed in the top five at NFL Nationals for the last three consecutive years. In 2004, NDF alumni were also top speaker at the TOC and runner-up at NCFL Nationals; in 2007, NDF produced a TOC semifinalist, quarterfinalist, and octofinalist, as well as another runner-up in LD at NCFL Nationals.
