Cooper High School Speech Team

What is Speech?

Speech is a Minnesota State High School League activity in which students compete individually in one of 13 different categories.   Preparation for competition can include writing and performing an original script, performing a selection from a published work of literature, participating in a small group discussion, or speaking extemporaneously on current events.   At Saturday tournaments from February to April, students typically participate in three "rounds" of competition hoping to advance to a final round.  Students have the opportunity to compete at the state level, earn a varsity letter in Speech, and earn honors through the National Forensic League.  Our team at Cooper is full of dedicated students who want to develop friendships and improve their speaking and performance skills. We are bringing honor to our high school, seven days a week. And having fun in the process, we might add.

****See you at practice this week****
Sections is our most important practice of the year!
Our competition will be tough, but we'll advance if we work hard!
