2021 Declamations 

Like almost everything else in 2020-21, Tampa Prep's longstanding tradition of grade-level declamations was held with a twist this year. Our hybrid schedule and the use of Zoom allowed us to publicly celebrate more of the strong writers and performers than we usually can with an in-person competition. Because the traditional second round of community judges was not feasible this year, all winners in English classes performed their speeches at grade-level assemblies. Guest judges and English teachers agreed this year's speeches were some of the strongest they've heard. We are proud to be able to highlight so many students' accomplishments.
