Prescott High School Speech Team

04/14/2025

Prescott Speech team went home with some medals this weekend! The team trekked to Madison, WI on Friday to participate in the WISDAA speech festival. They competed at the UW-Madison Campus this year, which was a great experience. The next morning, we headed out to State Street to see the farmers market. The kids had a wonderful time!

Us coaches could not be prouder of these kids. Their patience, kindness, incredible talent and perseverance through this long season never fails to impress us. Plus, witnessing them explore Madison and build lasting friendships is a privilege. Another successful season in the books!

Ms. Sponholz is taking over the page one last time! We're looking for Speech judges in Hutchinson, MN! If you're a forensics/speech alumni and live on the west side of the Cities, we'd love to have you judge! MN Speech is different than WI, but the premise and many of the categories are the same! Email me if you are interested: [email protected]

Or, if you're on the east side of the Cities, you could still judge for Prescott! Email Ms. Langer: [email protected]
