Annual Oratorical Contest

for High School Students

For those of you who will join us for the orations, you will leave the meeting with a renewed faith that cherished American ideals have not been forgotten, but are still to be found in the hearts and minds of some of our nation’s youth.

The Oration contest is one of the major programs promoted by the National Society Sons of the American Revolution. Perhaps one of our speakers will go on to compete at the NSSAR Congress in Atlanta, GA.
