Voices of a Nation Speech Event

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Davis School District is proud to host a districtwide student speaking event aligned with America 250 Utah.

Voices of a Nation invites students from every school and grade level to share their perspective on America — its founding principles, history, civic responsibility, innovation, leadership and the future of our nation.

America’s story is still being written. We want to hear from the next generation.
