Academy Public Speakers Shine

As parents checked out at the front desk after attending the academy forensics finals presentations, you could hear them commented to one another, "I couldn't speak in front of a group like that until I was in college." Not only to Everest students begin public speaking as young as kindergarten, they have the opportunity to do so frequently throughout their years at Everest. While nerves are normal, Everest student develop their talent and confidence in the area of public speaking. Congratulations to all our finalists in the elementary exhibitions as well as to our winners in the middle school competition!
