Aloha and Happy New Year!

We are excited and pleased to announce our 34th Annual Texaco Honolulu District Elementary Speech Festival this school year on: Saturday, April 13, 2024, 8:00 am - 11:00 am, McKinley High School Campus

Thanks to the generous sponsorship and dedication of Texaco Hawaii, along with the leadership efforts of the Honolulu District Principals overseeing the event's planning, we can successfully uphold this annual tradition. The 2023 Speech Festival comprised over 300 students from 27 of our district's elementary schools. We plan to have more students participating this year; as such, we will need many judges yet again.  Parking areas will be reserved for all judges, and there will be training, refreshments, and most importantly, a fun and exciting time watching our future co-workers and civic leaders.  The success of the Speech Festival for thirty-three years is possible because of the many volunteers from the district and school levels and our community organizations and businesses. Thank you ahead of time for coordinating your volunteers and serving as a judge to provide positive feedback to our student performers.

If you choose to serve as a judge, you will receive more detailed instructions and information as the event date nears. Please click and use this 2024 Speech Festival Judges (Google Form) to enter the information of those volunteering as judges.
