Thirty-six Miramonte High School Public Speakers, seven parent judges/chaperones, and two teachers enjoyed laughter and learning at the California High School Speech Association's State Championships April 17-19 at Vista Murietta High School in Murietta, Calif. The Mats earned sixth place out of 360 schools and claimed the Congress Champion for the third year in a row.

"Our students epitomized good sportsmanship and camaraderie," said Miramonte teacher and public speaking head coach Kristen Plant. "They endured 14-hour days of competition with good cheer and appreciation of this special opportunity. We could not have done it without the support of Miramonte staff, students and parents. We are particularly grateful for the generous sponsorship of the Educational Foundation of Orinda."
