Several Tulip City high school students have recently earned the highest possible honor in speech competitions. The Iowa High School Speech Association announced All-State nominations from individual performances. Will Rasmussen of Pella High School is a multiple time individual and large group All-State nominee, and he’s thankful for the opportunities he’s had to perform with friends during his four years at the school. This year’s Iowa High School Speech Association Individual All-State festival, typically held at the University of Northern Iowa, was cancelled due to COVID-19.
