Two Ashford Students Move on to Finals Competition

AHS would like to congratulate Dylan Freeman and Ka’miya Koonce for being selected as two of the eight finalists for the 2022 Freedom Speaks Competition.
In the final competition students are required to write a speech themselves based on the King or Lincoln speech they represented at the qualifying event. They will also address the following question: “If you were to write a speech, what would the title be, and what would be your message to society?” Students will be judged on appearance, introduction, nonverbal/posture/gestures,vocal quality/articulation and pronunciation,vocal rate, pitch, pauses and volume, conclusion, personal conviction, clarity of message, overall delivery, and adherence to time requirement.
The high school competition will be held on Sunday, January 16, 2022, at Wiregrass Church at 6:00 p.m. We Wish them both Luck!
