Introducing our '24-'25 Senior Varsity Speech Coach, Mrs. Amy Eytchison

Mrs. Amy Eytchison is our new SV Speech Coach. Many of you already know her as she is the mother of Ambassador Club alum, Aubrey Eytchison, Amy's youngest, now a senior at Union University. Those who do not know Amy yet will be blessed by her encouraging, supportive, disciplined, and exuberant personality!

Amy is a strong Christian woman, a wife to her great husband, Brian, and a veteran homeschool mom of four. She has been involved with Ambassador Club and Stoa speech & debate since 2017, continuing to support this activity following Aubrey’s graduation, especially by judging and judging at every local tournament. Perhaps she has judged you at an Ambassador Tournament and you still have a ballot from her! Now she will be your coach!

Amy is a freelance story consultant and editor. She has taught acting, storytelling, public speaking, creative writing, literature, and other classes at local Christian homeschool tutorials. She led our SV Speech Camp earlier this month!

We still celebrate Amy's daughter, Ambassador Club alum, Aubrey, who along with her Ambassador Club partner, Ella Jacobs, placed first in Duo Interp at Stoa’s May 2021 NITOC at Union. Aubrey also excelled in every other speech and debate event in which she competed. Amy supported and coached both Aubrey and Ella as they prepared for NITOC in tandem with the excellent coaching they received in Ambassador Club.

Amy has personally witnessed how stepping up to the challenge of public speaking & acting in dramatic productions greatly benefited both herself & her children. She is passionate about helping others grow in courage, confidence, & valuable communication skills, knowing these are key for every area of life.

We are excited and thankful to have Amy as our SV Speech Coach! She is very knowledgeable about the dynamics of a great speech as we witnessed in Aubrey & Ella’s excellent Duo Interp winning 1st place at NITOC ’21. We are confident all our Senior Varsity Speech students will benefit greatly from her excellent coaching.
