Mackenzie Long 1Bishop Stang High School, a diocesan, co-educational, college preparatory school located on the Southcoast, announced MacKenzie Long won the Dr. Mildred F. Jefferson Youth Oratory Contest which is sponsored by the Massachusetts Citizens for Life. MacKenzie will now go on to the National contest in Louisville, KY at the National Right to Life Convention on June 26-28 and compete in the Jane Thompson Oratory Contest.

“MacKenzie displayed his impressive leadership, confidence and persuasive speaking skills with eloquence,” said Amanda Tarantelli, Campus Ministry Leader and Theology Teacher at Bishop Stang High School. “We are excited for him to go on to the next level and have a chance to compete against so many accomplished high school students.”

The competition is held every two years to give committed pro-life young people a chance to speak their minds and hone their skills in the rhetorical defense of the unborn, elderly, infirm and vulnerable.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to speak persuasively in a competitive environment about a topic of which I am passionate,” said Bishop Stang Junior and Westport native MacKenzie Long. “I’m proud to represent my school at a national level and excited for the experience to come.”
