WISDAA

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Speech & Dramatic Arts Association  (formerly Wisconsin High School Forensics Association) has fostered debate, speech, acting and other skills for the past hundred years.  Luck High School has been a very active member of WISDAA, sending more competitors to the State Festival each year than many schools far larger than we are.  

What is Speech?

Speakers craft clear, meaningful and valid speeches and other presentations.   

The several categories fall into two broad groups

• Public Speaking- these are speeches that require analytical thinking and  in some cases, research.

• Performance of Literature - these are presentations that focus on expressive delivery
