Join us for the 2026 Speech Meet. The purpose of the speech meet is to help students develop communication skills and techniques to speak audibly, articulately, expressively, and with poise and confidence in audience situations. Participation in public speaking events helps students not only master communications skills and become more independent, but also helps them to gain self-esteem, and sharpen their critical thinking and organizational skills. This year we will have 8 categories of competition. Four general categories, as well as four categories that focus on children’s literature and feature students’ abilities to interpret the literature in a verbal format for a community audience. Grade level competitions are: (4th -6th, 7th-8th & 9th-12th).
