2021 Controversial Speeches

Do you like chocolate? What’s your pronoun? How do you feel about euthanasia? What’s on your dinner plate? Should we colonize Mars? These are just a few topics of this year’s Controversial Speeches, given each year by our high school juniors. This milestone project gives students the opportunity to hone their public speaking skills before a live audience.
