ANNUAL ORATORICAL CONTEST
The purpose of The American Legion’s National High School Oratorical Contest is to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution of the United States on the part of high school students. Other objectives of the contest include the development of leadership qualities, the ability to think and speak clearly and intelligently, and the preparation for acceptance of the duties and responsibilities, the rights and privileges of American citizenship.
If you are a member or representative of an American school in France or other surrounding European countries that would like your students to participate in our oratorical competition, with the possibility for students to earn scholarships for US based educations.
