Karly Wins 4 Way Speech Contest

Posted by Carl Kruse

Congratulations to Scripps Ranch High School senior Karly Hampshire for earning the top honor at the Four-Way Test Speech Contest finals held at the April 29th District Council at the California Center for the Arts Escondido.

Sponsored by the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club Karly's speech on applying the Four-Way Test to non-violent settlement of conflicts earned the judge's nod for content, organization and presentation. The three judges took an extraordinary amount of time to compare and finalize individual vote results as there were six very talented and poised contestants who dazzled the audience of over 170 attendees during the evening.

Speech subjects covered how the Four-Way Test applies to the use of social media, the morality of doing what is right, the non-violent settlement of conflicts, today's broadcast media, hurtful discrimination, and student engagement in school and community activities. This program is one of the district's highlights of our Youth Service activities.
