*General Information*	Speech Team is an IHSA activity in which students perform published, self-written, and impromptu materials in competition with other high schools in the region. It can help students develop their public speaking skills, dramatic and comedic performances, writing, and critical thinking.
*Eligibility Requirements*	All students are welcome to join up until the first tournament. After that time, without proper practice or prior experience it would be difficult to compete at a novice level, but not unheard of.
*Joining Procedures*	Come to a meeting in C40 on Thursdays after school or you can email Mr. Cadieux at jcadieux@d155.org.
*Time Commitment*	One 1 1/2 - 2 hour practice sessions a week. This includes at least one 30 minute practice with a coach after school* Monday through Friday and multiple performances in front of a mirror at home or with friends and family. Tournaments are held on Saturdays* from early morning to mid afternoon beginning in late October to early November and ending in early February. *Speech Team can and will work with the Drama department and Music department to meet the needs of other activities and their commitments.
*Meets*	Every Thursday beginning August 30th.
