SPECIAL NOTE: Please keep in mind that member schools may not participate in every event. Some schools only participate in the Speech side while other schools offer all events for their students. Many fall in between, and much depends on student interest as well. To see if a particular event is offered in your high school, contact the individual coaches who run the programs.
