Join a Winning Tradition: TAPPS Academic & Speech Competitions (By Ivan Klousia, Director of Theatre)

You might be surprised to learn that the Academic & Speech Team is tied for the most TAPPS State Team Championships in school history this year among all of the St. Michael's teams - even Athletics! 
We are in the process of selecting students who will represent St. Michael's in the 2019-2020 TAPPS state Academic & Speech Championship. There are opportunities for students to compete by taking exams in a variety of academic events, including Science, Mathematics, English Language Arts, Social Studies and Spanish. Additionally, students have the opportunity to compete in speech events, including Original Oratory, Persuasive Speaking, four different Speech Interpretation events, as well as Debate.

For each event, three students will be chosen to represent St. Michael's. Since we've been competing in TAPPS, SMCA has earned five team championships and over 40 individual student state championships. 

So if you have a knack for taking tests, have and interest in a particular subject area, want to be a part of a winning tradition and compete for an opportunity to win a state championship, contact Mr. Ivan Klousia, TAPPS Academic and Speech Coach: iklousia@smca.com.
