Speech State Meet Honor Crew
Do you wish to recognize and reward the dedicated work of students on your speech squad? Here’s an incredible opportunity!
The State Speech Honor Crew is designed for exemplary speech students who are not already involved in the Speech State Meet but who demonstrate outstanding qualities. The Honor Crew assists in administering the State Meet through chairing competition rounds, timekeeping and serving as monitors, providing an amazing learning opportunity.
It will be necessary for those selected to be in Austin from late afternoon Sunday, May 18, through Tuesday late afternoon, May 20 . Attendance at a training session on Sunday at 6 p.m. is required. Students must be nominated by their speech coach. Nominations should be based on academic and competitive excellence in your speech and debate program. Maturity is vital so upperclassmen will receive preferential selection.
Students nominated must be academically capable and eligible. Every effort will be made to select members from all regions and all conferences. Coaches may nominate more than one student. For additional information about the nomination process, click here.
