Cloverleaf High School entered 5 talented students to compete this morning in the 4-Way Speech Contest of Medina Sunrise Rotary: Leah Archer, Joe Armogida, Zack Brownson, Vanessa Monhemius, and Asa Stephens. Vanessa and Zack were selected and have the opportunity to compete with other students from northeast Ohio in the Rotary District #6630 final competition to be hosted by Springfield High School on April 12.
 
All five students are from Mr. Joel Shurance’s AP Literature class. The study of challenging subject matter through literature helps breed the empathy and courage needed for the students to tackle relevant, and real-life topics that exemplify the Rotary’s Four-Way Test. The students have the autonomy to select topics that pertain to their interests. After much research and drafting, students are able to use rhetorical strategies to convey their true feelings on the topic.
