Speech Trek is a speaking contest open to all California high school students.  It is organized by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) to promote public speaking and leadership skills.

Addison Horn, a senior at Placer High School in Auburn, won First Place in the Auburn Chapter AAUW contest that was held on February 25 last year, earning her $500.  Annabel Easton, also of Placer High School, was the second-place winner, and she received a check for $300.  Aubree Garcia of Del Oro High School was the Third Place winner, and she received a check for $200. Check out the article about the contest in the September 24th edition of the Auburn Journal.

Our first place winner, Addison, went on to win the State competition in 2024! Check out her impressive speech here
