Welcome to the Osseo Senior High Speech Team web page!!

OSSEO SENIOR HIGH SPEECH TEAM MISSION STATEMENT: It is the mission of the Osseo Speech Team to promote among the students of the Osseo Senior High School the development of oral communication skills; critical thinking; appreciation of literature and the spoken word; performance of the spoken word; argumentation; understanding and appreciation of civics and public affairs; and respect and appreciation for the beliefs, opinions, and talents of others. We believe that this mission is best accomplished by encouraging all students in Osseo School District to participate in a program which includes Speech competition with students from other places and to observe and participate in a variety of dramatic and public affairs speech and debate activities. We believe that for an individual student to realize the benefit of this program the student needs to work toward the improvement of his or her talents with regard to oral communication performance, critical thinking and argumentation by practice; observation; and the making and recieving of thoughtful and considerate criticism.
