Speake was nominated by teacher Martha Cooper.
Speake was also named an United States National Award Winner in English, nominated by teacher Donna Rushen, and in cheerleading, nominated by teacher and coach Martha Cooper. The USAA recognizes less that 10 percent of all American high school students for these awards.
