After months of practice, the City High speech teams will begin competing at the district speech tournament this Saturday at Wapello, IA.

“I feel pretty good about how we’re doing so far with rehearsals,” Jilly Cooke ‘17 said. “I feel like it’s going to go really well for us.”

Cooke and the speech team members will be competing for a Division I rating. Getting a “1” will qualify them for State, which will be on February 4th.

On Friday, January 27, the speech teams will also be performing at Opstad for their Home Show at 7: 30 pm, which is the group’s fundraiser: suggested donations are five dollars for adults and three for students.
