Annual W.T. Bondurant Oratorical Contest

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 in the Bondurant Library

Lunch: 11:30 AM  •  Instructions: 11:45 AM  •  Contest: 12:00 PM

As you know, public speaking is an important part of what we offer at The Academy and the Oratorical Contest is the capstone of the program. All alumni are invited to this annual event and serve as judges as Middle School students present their personal essays. Last year's speeches were amazing and we're sure they will be as great this year.

We extend a warm invitation to all alumni to be part of this special occasion. Your valued insights as judges are eagerly anticipated by our Academy boys. Guidelines and ballots will be distributed at the event. The winner will present his speech in chapel later in the spring.

RSVP to be a judge by Wednesday, February 18, at the link below. If you have any questions or know another alumnus who would be a great judge, feel free to reach out to the SAA Development Office at development@sa-academy.org.
