Venice High School Graduation Speech

I have a passionate desire to excel in my academic life. My early elementary school years were arduous because I have always been a very stubborn person; and at the time, I had simply decided I did not want to go to school. However, about halfway through my 1st grade year, I decided that I could no longer go without giving my best academically and I turned my stubborn rebellion against school into a

The road of our high school career was a bumpy one and I am so proud that we all made it here today and overcame our own personal adversities to make sure we get this diploma. Overcoming adversity is what makes people stronger and it’s going to pop up at random times in your life. It’s on you whether you allow these hardships to make or break you. Our class has a lot of strong individuals, so I know that you won’t let anything stop you from achieving your dreams. I wish you nothing but the best in your lives and hope that when you’re 70 years old sitting on your recliner at home you’re content with how your life turned

Good morning/afternoon administrators, faculty, board members, parents, and fellow peers of Nova Academy Prichard, 8th grade 2016 Graduation Ceremony.

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.

Good morning, seniors and faculty. Today, I have the honor of addressing one of the most unique, talented, and resilient classes ever to attend Newfield High School. I hope that the advice I have to offer you today will enlighten you as well as your successors. Now, since graduation is a congratulatory occasion, before I get started, there are people who must be acknowledged and to whom respect is due.

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.

High school has been a transforming experience. None of us are the same as we were when we walked in as freshmen. Most of us have matured. Like many of you, I am thankful for teachers like Coach Adair and Ms. Dibble, who taught us not what to think but how to think. We have learned how to see the world from others’ perspectives after we have climbed into their skins and walked around in them. Thanks to Mr. Pacharne for teaching us how to work out math and physics problems. If it were not for the challenge and beauty of AP Physics, I would not have considered engineering. When I look back on my high school years, I will not remember what the Zimmerman telegram said or where the medulla is located, but I will remember the lifelong friends and mentors I made and the reasoning skills I

Throughout my four years of high school, I have always strived to be my best. I have managed to keep a job, play soccer, and volunteer for my community. I have had a job for two years averaging twenty-six hours a week and have been promoted three times. I am now a shift leader and carry many responsibilities. Having a job has taught me responsibility, appreciation, and a great work ethic which I use towards my school work. Playing soccer, I have traveled to many schools and camps. Throughout these games and camps, I have always represented Saltillo High School proudly. I find it an honor to say I am a student at Saltillo High School. I hope that whoever is reading this will seriously consider me for Saltillo High School 2017 Hall of Fame.

I entered high school, and I made it a personal promise and goal to absolutely succeed and push my limits. So far, I have succeeded with this goal. From the beginning of my freshman year, I made sure I took the maximum amount of classes, and I finished each course with an A. I took advantage of an internship program at my school, where I shadowed one of the science teachers at my school. Throughout my Sophomore year, I continued this. I finished each course with an A, except for Biology, for which I finished it with a B. I am now in my senior year, and I continue to be successful with all of my classes.

Although we are pushed towards goals of success, I have come to understand how important failure is. It is only when I failed that I would push myself harder. I realized that through the difficult courses and late nights that it was the times I had failed that had made me a stronger and more diligent worker.

Today is the day where the 8th grade class of 2015-2016 graduate from James Irvine Intermediate. Despite all the hard work and efforts that we’ve all given during our stay in this school, this is the time where we should be proud of ourselves. For now, let’s close these few chapters in our life and start on a brand new page. It is the time for eighth graders to move on and continue with our lives by going to high school then, hopefully getting into a college.

Good afternoon Mr. Rebello, Dr. DiBiase, Ms. Copeland, Governor Raimondo, administration, faculty, family, and friends. On behalf of the Class of 2016, I would like to thank each person here today, for their perpetual dedication and support throughout our four years at Mt. Hope High School.

On this most auspicious of occasions, it is with a sincere sense of gratitude that I embark on sharing some thoughts regarding graduation and the Yucaipa High School Class of 2017. Seated amongst us here tonight are members of the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District Board of Education, the administrative staff of YHS, the teachers, friends, family, and most importantly, the graduates of the class of 2017. Fellow graduates, we did it! "Prestige, world wide!" (Step Brothers). While ruminating on my subject matter for this address, I decided to regale you with tales from my life, anecdotes that will hopefully entertain, enlighten, and inspire. So without further ado, my commencement address begins.

Hello Jodie,My name is Kyle McKenna I am currently grade 10 and attending Latrobe High School.

High school is supposed to be the place where you have fun and a time in your life you’re supposed to enjoy. Movies often trick you into believing that high school is an amazing time in your life and there is nothing but parties and fun. In Bring it on, they portrayed the fun and exciting part of high school cheer-leading, however they intentionally leave out the tough times high school students’ face in school and in their practices. In other popular movies, such as High School Musical the students have no pressures other than the next basketball game. In reality, this doesn 't happen. The constant pressure is affected by the grade level you are in. In high school, students can be classified based on the pressures that are faced in each grade level into the categories of freshman, sophomores/juniors, and seniors. I am here to help you make your high school experience less stressful.
