Argyle High School students showcased their talents recently at the annual Rotary Club 4-Way Test competition. The four-way test is of things we think, say or do and six students participated in the event.
- Is it the truth?
- Is it fair to all concerned?
- Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Caleb Leonard took first place, Srimaan Kolanakuduru was second and Liyah Cha was third overall. Each student spoke on the four-way test for up to five minutes. Caleb will move on the regional competition.
Congratulations, Eagles!
