The Speech team provides opportunities for students to develop public speaking abilities while furthering their critical thinking and analytical skills.  Through a variety of speaking opportunities to choose from, students may write original pieces, interpret published scripts or speeches, respond to prompts about world events, or compete impromptu. Students who want to improve presentation skills, enjoy drama/theater, have a passion for world events and can choose or write scripts are encouraged to audition. The team participates in 4 tournaments per season, mostly on Saturdays.
