Pottstown High School students Andrew Green, Kishan Patel and Madison Carberry were put to the test recently, and all proved their academic and speaking talents at the Rotary Speaking Contest.

Held by the local chapter of the Rotary Club, students were asked to take a position on a social issue by applying the Rotary 4-Way Test:
  • Is it the truth? 
  • Is it fair to all concerned? 
  • Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 
  • Will it be beneficial to all?

He will represent Pottstown at the District competition held at Ursinus College. 

Kishan Patel examined the claims by power companies about climate change and Madison Carberry put the issue of polygamy to the 4-way test. 

High school teachers Diane Fox and Diane Shoffstall were the teams sponsors and gave guidance and support to the speakers.
