SCHOHARIE COUNTY — The Schoharie County American Legion would like to extend an invitation to all Schoharie County Students, either high school or home-schooled students in grades 9 - 12, who would like to participate in the Annual Schoharie County American Legion Oratorical Contest, which will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025.   

Students must present an 8–10-minute original oration, without notes or amplification, on any aspect of the Constitution. This is a national contest, and students who win at the county level can advance to further levels, including the District, Zone, State, and National Levels. The grand prize is $25,000.00, which can be used toward their college education.

The American Legion hopes to see students from all Schoharie County Schools and Homeschooled Students participate.
