From "A Grief Observed" by C.S. Lewis, Jessie Levasheff (Class of 2024)

The Second Annual Declamations Contest is an inspiring evening of oration that showcases the talents of Pacifica students as they declaim masterfully crafted works-both new and familiar-from The Great Conversation.
Having progressed through several rounds of competition-our 10 finalists declaim in one of three categories: drama, oratory, and poetry. In between presentations, musical interludes by our students entertain as a panel of judges deliberate. Then, at the end of the night, one winner from each category is crowned and their name engraved onto the Declamations Plaque for posterity.
