Find Your Voice: Public Speaking
An essential part of the Middle School program at Chase are the seventh and eighth grade Declamations. Becoming a confident public speaker is a pivotal part of the Chase education and Middle School students help build toward this goal by presenting two formal speeches, known as Declamations, to their entire class, parents and guests. This is a signature event for Middle School students, teaching students the value of critical thinking, research and composition all while building oratorical skills that will last a lifetime.
