Speech

Coaches: Rachel Schieffelbein and Stephanie Copeman

Informational Speech meeting in December at the high school. Interested students and their parents should attend. If you are interested but can’t attend, please email Rachel Schieffelbein at rschieffelbein@chatfieldschools.com

Speech practice begins in January. There are thirteen different categories, ranging from informative pieces to poetry. There are several categories where the students write their own piece and several where they do not. They generally work on the same piece all season, and memorization is not required. Practices are held after school Tuesday through Friday, but attendance is flexible. Competitions are every Saturday, February through mid April, but students are not required to participate in every meet. 

 

Congratulations to the Chatfield Speech Team!

Chatfield regularly has students that qualify for the State Speech Tournament and place well there. We have had State Champions in 2023 and 2024, and the team has placed well as a group as well!
