Our Speech Team hosted its annual “warm-up” tournament here at St. Louise on Saturday, November 13th. Speech team students competed against one another in a mock tournament that helped prepare students for the upcoming high school hosted events throughout the winter months. We are so grateful to Anais Fawcett for her tireless efforts in organizing the St. Louise Speech Tournament each year!
Then, the following week, 15 returning Speech Team members competed at the Archbishop Murphy Speech Tournament. Students competed against more than 150 other students from 11 other schools across the region. St. Louise students took home numerous top 3 finishes, and were finalists across countless categories! We thank Rebecca Nightingale for leading the Speech Team again this year, as well as the many judges, coaches, and alumni who help make the season run smoothly!
