Photo Highlights: Project Soapbox Speeches

Project Soapbox is an assignment that encourages students to speak about issues occurring in the world through developing a persuasive 2-3 minute speech that advocates for change in our community. On December 3rd, 2025, RHHS Government teachers chose some students to deliver their speeches in front of an audience consisting of high school and elementary students along with honorable guests such as NY State Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr. and NYC Council Member Lynn Schulman.
