A Brenham High School student has won the American Legion Department of Texas District 10 Oratorical Contest.

Earlier this week, Kara Downs won the event hosted at Blinn College in Brenham.

Downs will advance to the next level of competition, the 3rd Division Oratorical Contest, to be held at Blinn, January 26.

According to the American Legion, the Oratorical Contest exists to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students.

The 83-year-old program presents participants with an academic speaking challenge that teaches important leadership qualities, the history of our nation’s laws, the ability to think and speak clearly, and an understanding of the duties, responsibilities, rights, and privileges of American citizenship.
