SPEECH - ASSISTANT SPONSOR

Position Summary The HF Speech program offers a unique opportunity for students to express their individual speaking and dramatic talents in a competitive atmosphere. Participating in this activity can benefit your future, but is especially popular among students interested in business, communication, marketing, education, law, politics, and theatre. The Speech program is an excellent way to improve public speaking skills, for those students who are shy or nervous in front of an audience. The sponsor must attend related meetings and events. After auditions, students attend weekly Monday meetings and practice daily. Students compete against other schools in individual events at invitationals held throughout the season at area high schools and at the HF Novice Invitational in the fall. The Speech Team competes in the regional, sectional, and state levels of the IHSA. In preparation for the IHSA State series, the members perform at the Regional Speech Showcase the Thursday night before the Regional competition. The speeches include public speaking, limited preparation, and dramatic performance events, such as the Performance in the Round.
