Moscow Private Schooler Nation’s Best Orator

More Info: Church was stunned. She stood and walked up to the stage to accept what turned out to be the most prestigious award of all: in all four rounds of the nationals competition, the judging panels had singled Church out as the best high school trial advocate in the country. "I just heard my name and stood up," Church said. "It was kind of a blur." Logos went on to place 16th in the national competition.
DFO: I had the privilege of judging the regional mock trial competition involving Logos School a few years ago. The students then -- and obviously now -- were superb orators. Logos, a classical Christian school in Moscow, has won the state mock trial competition 10 times in 14 years. Impressive.
