Melrose Area Schools is thrilled to announce: our Speech Team is Section Champs!! This team will be sending 18 members to State! On Saturday, this team brought their A-game to the Section Tournament in Minnewaska, with SEVEN Individual Section Champions, and numerous notable placements! Sections is always an emotional rollercoaster for our team, especially when some of our most polished speakers narrowly miss qualifying for the State Meet.
However, the incredible collective support our team showed made Saturday a memorable experience! Our team is committed and excited to continue their success at the State Meet at Park Center High School on Saturday, April 25th! 🏆💪🎉
Thank you to our families, and community for their continued support! More information for fans and families will be provided over the next few days!
