2017 Apr 26

Alec Zhu of Shrewsbury, Grade 8, participated in the Worcester Academy Middle School's Dexter Prize Speaking Contest recently.

The Dexter Prize Speaking Contest has a long and storied history at Worcester Academy and has flourished in recent years with support from an alumnus, Hervey Ross '46. Dexter Prize participants speak for roughly five minutes to an audience of up to 500 students. The contest, held three times a year, includes cash prizes for the winners. The participants learn self-confidence and the ability to communicate clearly, two important characteristics for effective leadership and success.
