It's a fantastic opportunity for our students to not only contribute to our community but also gain recognition for their dedication and service.

2. Scholars of Speech Competitions: Showcasing Talent

Mark your calendars because we're hosting the Scholars of Speech competitions at Concordia University Irvine in March and online in June! These competitions provide an excellent platform for students to showcase their public speaking skills and compete against their peers. It's a chance to demonstrate your talent, learn from others, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for speech and debate.

We're excited to introduce our new Application Advantage Seminars, exclusively available to current members of our middle or high school ModernBrain Nationals Teams.
