The contest challenges students in grades 10-12 to write and deliver speeches centered on the Rotary’s Four-Way Test questions:

  • Is it the truth?
  • Is it fair to all concerned?
  • Will it build good will and better friendships?
  • Will it be beneficial to all?

All three students who placed in the contest will compete in the Rotary District mid-level round next month in Harrisburg. This is the school’s fifth year being involved in the contest.
