The event is part of Louisiana's annual Celebrate Freedom Week and will culminate with two Louisiana students earning a trip to Ronald Reagan Oratory Competition finals at the Reagan Presidential Library in California.
In addition to student presentations, the event will feature Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Dr. Cade Brumley, Reagan Foundation representatives, state and local officials, and community leaders.
“Celebrate Freedom Week gives us the opportunity to better understand the principles that define our nation,” said Dr. Brumley. “Through this competition, students are not just learning history. They are practicing civic engagement by honoring the freedoms and ideals that make America exceptional.”
