What does the future of K-12 education look like?

How can we prepare students for their future and not our past? At Presbyterian Day School, we're not just asking that question, we're working on answering it by leading the way with an innovative approach to elementary education.

6th Grade Motsey Hudson Speech Winners - 2025

6th Grade Motsey Hudson Speech Winners - 2025

Written on May 5, 2025. Posted in News.

A hallmark of the PDS experience is exposure to public speaking opportunities. The culmination of this is the Motsey Hudson Speech Contest. Our 6th Graders write and give speeches on a variety of topics of particular interest to the speaker. We are so proud for the work each 6th Grader put into his speech!

This year, our winner was Reid Howell and the runner-up was Drew Fisher! Congratulations to these two on their excellent speeches!
