Speech Team
Speech Team is an extra-curricular program that competes in two different seasons: Large Group and Individual Events.
A student could participate in one or both seasons, and more information is found below.
At Pella High School, we have two teams for competition, as per the rules of the IHSSA (Iowa High School Speech Association). The 9th grade team is made up exclusively of 9th graders, and the Varsity team consists of all 10th, 11th and 12th grade participants.
Pella High School students can join the Speech Team Google Classroom code for more information and communication. The code is: nam4ft4
