This will be Shubha's 4th year on team and she's looking forward to the adrenaline rush you get between each round. She's also involved in HOSA, Student Ambassadors, South Asian Student Union, and Indian Classical Dance (Bharatanatyam).

This is Sahasra's 4th year on team, and she has competed in both Info and Oratory. She encourages novices to try a category outside of your comfort zone during a tournament! You may be surprised at how good you are!

Leslie is the category leader for Dramatic Interpretation and this is her third year on the team! She is also involved in theater and this year she's so excited for team bonding and getting to know each and every member of the team! 

Caroline is a senior in Extemporaneous and Impromptu Speaking. This is her fifth year on the speech team.

Idman has been on the team since her sophomore year, and three years later, she's bittersweet about her last upcoming speech season.

This is Sruthika's 3rd year on the Speech team! She is double entered in both Extemp Reading and Informative. One thing she is most excited for this season is to see the novices and returners grow!

This is going to be Rishi's 4th year on the ERHS speech team and he's so excited for this season to begin! He's really looking forward to teaching new novices and helping students succeed!

Nayomi competes in Extemp Speaking, and even dabbled in the world of Drama/Prose last season. She is looking forward to meeting new novices, bonding with the team, and having fun this season.

Amelia's favorite speech memories are being silly at warmups with friends and the exciting moments at tournaments waiting for final rooms to be posted or places at the awards ceremonies. Amelia looks forward to getting to do Duo again and make more bold choices in Humor. 

Jasmitha has been on the team for around 2 years now. She is looking forward to helping fellow team members compete and find their passion for speech whether it is in Original Oratory or not! She is also involved in HOSA and is passionate about pursuing a career in the medical field.

Sophia is a junior this year in Storytelling and has been apart of speech since her freshman year. This year she will (lovingly) drown herself in the world of storytelling, but is looking forward to the rewarding feeling of giving a great speech after half an hour of anxious prep (as per usual). Cheers to another speech season! :)
