2025 CMS Speech Recap
RECAP - 2024/25 SPEECH SEASON
This year we had an abnormally low number of Speech Team participants. We usually have around 40 and this year we had 23.
The reason I mention that is because of the extraordinary results from the speech meet finals.
With only 23 competing students, and the next closest school having 13 more students on their team – there should have been no way we would be in competition for a team trophy. However, because of our outstanding placements in each category, we actually pulled off 2nd place! And not by a little…BY A LOT!
For many reasons, I can say in all honesty, that this is by far the best team we have ever had in my 12 years as the Middle School Speech coach. It is no small feat to pull off a 2nd place team award with such a distinct numbers disadvantage. This is a true testimony to the team and students who worked so hard and were so dedicated to this team and to performing at such a high level.
Also, it is testimony to the High School speech team student coaches who gave up so much of their time and committed to these Middle School students.
