Proud is an understatement. The LHS Speech Team finished their season ranked 3rd in the AA Class and 9th overall in the STATE with 12 quarterfinalists, 6 semifinalists, and 2 finalists: Madilie (6th, Humor) and Nathalia (5th, Original Performance)! The work ethic, talent, grit, and willpower of this team drove their success. We are ever thankful for our volunteer judges (Claire, Alex, Ared, Yvonne, Sam, Lindsay), our loyal bus drivers (Steve & Crystal), our supportive team parents and friends, and our coaching colleagues within the ISSDA who provide the platform for our students to find their voices and speak their truths. None of these efforts go unnoticed. Together, we all create space for students to thrive. ⚫️🔴 Go Berries! 🔴⚫️
