Students at Speech Team Competition

Find Your Voice. Speak Your Mind.

Who says you can't be a nationally recognized speech team and have fun at the same time? Meet the Speechies! In their 21 years of existence, the Bancroft Speech team has been a force in the Massachusetts Speech & Debate League. Working with experienced coaches, students become well versed in acting, public speaking, poetry, argumentation, and current events. They participate in competitions all over the state and country, and they win. A lot.
