Remembering our roots, inspiring new leaders

That's the goal of the Gering High School speech team. And, as we honor our rich heritage of success, we look forward to the promise of the future: to the new speakers that will find their passion for competitive speech, to the renewed spirit of determination to always be better, and to the ongoing dedication to the art of public speaking--a true sport.

Since it's inception in the early 1970s, the Gering High School speech team has enjoyed a reputation as one of the best competitive speech programs in the Panhandle, if not in the entire state. It is the home to two state championships, numerous district champion and runner-up titles (most recently 2009), and six national qualifiers. And, as one of the largest Class B speech programs in the state of Nebraska, the Gering High School speech team always boasts a robust roster. This year is no exception: 54 members and growing!

Aristotle once asserted, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit," If that is true, then Gering High School speech competitors have certainly demonstrated that excellence (both as performers and as students) is their habit.

So what about you? Do you aspire to do something great or to be apart of a group that pushes you to be the best person you can be? Then, consider joining the Gering High School speech team. We'd love to welcome you into the family. There's always room at our table for one more.
