Veritas Student Shine in Annual Speech Meet

On March 4th and 5th, students at Veritas participated in the annual Speech Meet. Kindergarten through 8th-grade students prepared individual speeches in various styles and covered a wide range of topics. Each speech had to be memorized and presented before a panel of judges, who awarded points and determined first, second, and third-place winners for each grade level. The content, length, and complexity of the speeches varied by grade. While Kindergarteners memorized short excerpts, 7th and 8th graders were required to write and present original speeches, which could be several pages long. First-place winners from each class were invited to present their speeches at the Night Under the Stars event on March 7.

Beyond fostering language skills and memorization, the Speech Meet helps students develop confidence in public speaking. Classical Christian education places a strong emphasis on communication skills, including logic, debate, and persuasive argumentation—areas that many adults feel were underdeveloped in their own education. The Speech Meet introduces students to these essential skills from a young age, preparing them for future academic and professional success.
