Sara Lee Harris Speech Competition
THEA member homeschoolers are encouraged to enter the SLH Worldview Apologetics Competition! This Speech Competition is named for a homeschooling grandmother, now in heaven, who was passionate about her faith, loved to study God’s Word, and to share her Christian faith. Her family contributed the $1,000 in prize money which will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners in both the Senior Division and Junior Division on Rally Day.
