South Burlington Rotary High School Speech Contest

Feb 20, 2025, 7 to 8:30 PM

South Burlington Rotary Club is hosting a High School Speech Contest

Have a high school student in your household? They have an opportunity to win cash prizes of up to $1,750 in our Rotary sponsored Speech contest. Every year we sponsor a contest, and round one is happening soon! (February 20, at 7:00 pm)

This year the Rotary speech contest asks: How can a Rotary-School partnership increase respect? Meaning… what would happen if you considered the fundamental ideals of Rotary and applied them in a school setting. How would that change interactions between you and your friends, other students, your teachers, and school administrators?

High school students are asked to consider the topic, then prepare and deliver a five-minute speech which relates this topic to your life, school and the Rotary value of Service Above Self. Speeches do not need to be memorized.

For more information, about the contest, contest rules or how to register, please contact Rotarian Charlie Lawrence at 802-261-7916 or via email geochazman@gmail.com. The first round is Thursday, February 20th at 7:00 pm at the South Burlington High School Library.
