The Speech Team travels to area high schools to compete. There are a total of sixteen categories ranging from oral interpretation to acting to public speaking. As part of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Speech and Dramatic Arts Association, the team has two goals: To provide a significant training ground for the development of students’ abilities in public speaking and in the oral interpretation of literature and to provide multiple opportunities for students to practice and share their skill development. One or two organizational meetings will be held in November after school. Practices will be held once a week beginning in December and last through the competitive season. Each practice lasts a half hour and will be set up with one of the coaches. We can and will work around schedules of other activities. Competitions are held on Saturdays beginning the first week in February and lasting through March. Sub district and District competitions are usually held in March and the State Speech tournament is held in April.
