Participation in speech is open to students in grades 7-12.  There are 13 categories in which students can participate.  The categories include:  Creative Expression, Discussion, Duo Interpretation, Extemporaneous Reading, Extemporaneous Speaking, Great Speeches, Humorous Interpretation, Informative Speaking, Original Oratory, Serious Drama Interpretation, Serious Poetry, Serious Prose Interpretation, and Storytelling. 

Preperation for competition can include writing and performing an original script, performing a selection from a published work of literature, participating in a small group discussion, or speaking extemporaneously on current events.

Speech is for those: introverts looking to be a bit more outgoing, intellectuals wanting to gain some valuable skills for college, comedians and creative writers looking for an outlet, performers looking to be center stage, socialites looking to make more friends, and anyone who is willing to work hard, be part of a team, and have a lot of fun.
