Have you ever thought about being a speech judge? Are you already a judge and need to renew your certification? The Decorah High School is sponsoring an IHSSA speech judge certification meeting on September 16th at 6:30 pm in the DHS cafeteria. No experience is necessary. Judge certification is $10, but you can make 15 times that amount for judging one contest. Plus, you can judge at several contests in one season if you want! The certification session will last an hour and a half. If you are even considering this opportunity, please come and learn about judging for the IHSSA. Our students need you!
