With the district speech competition in the rearview mirror, we look to the road ahead with the State Speech Competition on the horizon. The Highland Speech Team took eight students to the district competition and came out with one group advancing to the state competition. One of the three improv groups received a 1 rating, which included Kyle Whestine, Jacob Allen, and Kadin Jepson. The Highland team performed well in their other events as well, receiving a two rating for their other two improv groups, and a two rating for their radio broadcasting group. The three Huskies will head to Cedar Rapids Washington High School for the State Speech competition on February 8th.
