Speech

Welcome to Stanley Speech!

Speech is a great activity that teaches leadership, accountability, preparation, self esteem and more! The purpose of competitive Speech is to help students develop the skills and confidence in communicating. You can use these skills all throughout your life. During Speech you can also meet new people. We love our Speechies and are working very hard at making this a TEAM event! We are looking forward to not only the Speech season for 2024-25 but some awesome team bonding adventures!
