THE AMERICAN LEGION HIGH SCHOOL ORATORICAL CONTEST

"A CONSTITUTIONAL SPEECH CONTEST"

 

College.  Money.  Two words that go hand-in-hand.  It takes a lot of money to pay for a college education.  For high school students, there is a way to actually talk your way to college.  Each year The American Legion High School Oratorical Scholarship Program awards $203,500 in college scholarships.  Contact American Legion Post 296 at 770-427-6595 for details.  Find out today how you can get involved and talk your way to college.

 

The American Legion Oratorical Contest exists to develop deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students. Since 1938, the program has presented participants with an academic speaking challenge that teaches important leadership qualities, the history of our nation’s laws, the ability to think and speak clearly, and an understanding of the duties, responsibilities, rights and privileges of American citizenship.
