State Speech - Host Information

Penn HS - 56100 Bittersweet Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545

Christine Mitchell, Cluster Director of Sales <cmitchell@jskhospitality.com>  can help you find a hotel with availability and the right rate. Christine is a former speaker/debater for LaPorte High School and spoke very fondly of her coach Mary Fridh. When you talk to Christine make sure you ask about comping a room for your bus driver and your coach. Even though Plymouth is one hour away from Penn, we are spending the night. We are staying at a Staybridge about 30 minutes away and we got two rooms comped. If you don’t ask for it, you won’t get it. 

– Dan Tyree, Executive Director
