Valedictory Speech : Graduation Speech For Students

This day marks another milestone in our young lives as we celebrate our graduation day and receive our long-awaited, hard-earned graduation diploma.

Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

Thank you all for being here today to celebrate the graduation of the 2015-2016 William Ford Fifth Grade class. A sincere welcome to all the parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and extended family of the graduating fifth graders, thank you for taking the time to be with us on this very special occasion. Many of the students you see before you have been at William Ford Elementary since first enrolling in the kindergarten, after six short years we now sit before you all much taller, much smarter, and much better at tying our own shoes. Most importantly, however, we have all learned valuable life lessons that we will carry with us on our journey to middle school next fall.

As I stand before you all at the end of our senior year, giving this speech, let’s reminisce in some of our memorable pasts. Looking back, we’ve made many great memories in the midst of earning an

Good morning Principle Boyd, proud parents, faculty, and fellow graduates, to this extraordinary celebration breakfast, in honor of Our Lady of Grace Catholic School Class of 2017. Yes, I am graduating 8th grade, but I still have to make my bed, be nice to my siblings, do my chores, I cannot drive a car, I must continue putting my Iphone into my locker every night, so that I will not be grounded!  Nevertheless, I am graduating from Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, and I feel like I found a pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow.

The Salutatorian Addresses, given by Emily Nortnik, Shelbi Ledesma, and Hannah Branson, took the class of 2017 back through the last 13 years of their lives. There were good times and there were challenges, but together they faced life’s ups and downs while unknowingly making cherishable memories. Valedictorians, Lily Lockhart and Elizabeth Ward, graduated with GPAs above 4.3.

On a cold sunny day in January 2016, I enrolled in Dierks High School as a seventh grader.I had many questions about meeting new teachers, classmates, and other staff. For me this was a very eventful day. The experiences of that day are memorable because they marked the beginning for me as a new student, hopeful of feeling like I belonged in a school where I didn't know many people.

Hello, fellow students, teachers, staff, and family members from Rio Rancho Cyber Academy. I didn’t find out I was to give this speech until Wednesday morning at 9:30, and that’s probably a good thing because I may have tried to arrange not to be salutatorian if I’d had advance notice. Consequently, this speech is probably not what you would expect; and I’m sure half my class would be much more comfortable standing here in front of you I only want to make two points, and I’m sure you will appreciate it when I say they will be quick. First, I want to encourage my class, myself included, to believe in ourselves and strive to reach our goals. Second, I think we all want to thank those who were instrumental

Good morning, my name is Jacqueline Heitmann and I am currently a 8th grader at St. Rose of Lima. As of tonight, we will be graduating into high school, a new step in our journey. Before I begin, I'd like to give big "Thank You" on behalf of my class to all of our faculty, staff, parents, sponsors, and everyone who was involved in our St. Rose experience. You may not have known it, but each and everyone of you has played a huge part in our daily lives, and we want you all to know that.

Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.

This day marks the end of our middle school years. When I look around at the graduates before you, I note a variety of personalities. Everyone has different qualities and attributes that define them as distinct individuals. Just like our personalities, our memories and anecdotes of these times will differ, but there are memories that we all share and undoubtedly won’t forget. Recollections that will last for years, even when friendships fade. The shared excitement of our Washington trip was unforgettable. All the intertwining memories are what keeps us together.

Good evening, parents, staff and graduates, and welcome to Roberta Bondar Public School’s 2016 grade 8's graduating ceremony. I'd like to thank you all for being here on this special and important day. Speaking of special days, can you believe we're finally here? Today is the day all the grade 8’s have been waiting for since the day we got here. Whether that was in grade 6 like me or kindergarten or maybe even this year. Today's the day we can all walk out of here older and smarter than we were since we got here. Today’s Tuesday and on Thursday of this week, we are all going to walk out of here and on different paths.

This was the moment I had been waiting for the entire summer. My first moment as a “real teacher” in charge of a class full of students. Even more exciting was the fact I was teaching kindergarten! As an incoming first-year Teach for America Corp member in Las Vegas, we had heard about the Achievement or Opportunity Gap all summer and I felt that I was given a special opportunity. I determined in my mind that my students would not be behind but be ahead by the time that they finished kindergarten. I spent hours preparing seating arrangements, organizing my library and centers, going over the standards and lesson planning with people on my grade level. There was no doubt in my mind that the students in room 29 would accomplish great things.

Hello, we would like to welcome and thank all of you for being here with us tonight to celebrate our high school graduation . It truly is an honor to be surrounded by so many significant people who have impacted our lives immensely throughout our highschool years. We would like to thank the wonderful people here tonight that we have the privilege to call our parents. Whether you are a mother a father, grandma or grandpa, or an aunt or an uncle; we are here, graduating today because of all of you.

English class seemed to be the most dreadful to take within school. Writing essays for most of my grade in a class is not what I was looking forward too. When I entered college I knew that it would be one of many challenging classes I would have to take. Starting from the lowest English class to moving on up, the writing assignments became longer and more thought out. The time came when I got into this class that I knew more work was going to have to be put into essays and thus brought out what I had not seen before in my work progress.
