The "prep season" is late November to April and the "competition season" is January through April, with possible competition in June at Nationals. Tournaments are held on Saturdays, beginning early and ending late. Watch the Daily Bulletin for registration information.

The EPHS Speech Team hosted its "first annual" summer Speech Camp in 2006. The day camp was held at the high school for four days in late August.
