Speech Team

SPONSOR: English teacher Jacleen Joiner

CURRENT EVENTS: National Competition in Birmingham, Alabama from June 18 to 23

THOUGHTS: “I compete in an event where I am given 30 minutes to prepare a speech about a political question. I think you just need to have a good knowledge about public affairs and be well prepared,” said Crystal Xue, speech team member and nationals qualifier. “Ideally, I’d love to win, but a much more realistic goal for me is to become a better speaker in the short amount of time I have. I just think being able to speak eloquently on your feet is a valuable skill to have.”

National Beta Charter Club

WHAT IT IS: To encourage teamwork and innovation, and to foster new interests in students who are looking to broaden their academic horizons.

THOUGHTS: “We are heavily integrated in volunteering at Sunrise Senior Living, the Humane Society of Indianapolis, and Circle City Relief.
