Good morning everyone! Before I begin, I would like to thank all of our teachers for putting up with us and teaching us for the last two years. You have made our middle school experience a lot more interesting! I would also like to thank all of our fabulous admin, Mrs. Baclig, Mrs. Tillman, Mrs. Wallace, and our principal Mr. McDougall. Most importantly, though, I would like to thank all of our wonderful parents for always supporting us. Can we give them a round of applause? In about four years, we’ll be doing this whole graduation thing all over again, only we’ll being going to college instead of high school. Can you believe it? Even though we’ve only spent two years here, we’ve made so many memories and have made new friends. During our time at Toby, we have had many new experiences, most of them good, some of them a little scary. At the start of 7th grade, I never expected to be singing in my history class every day or eating nitrogen covered food. When Mr. Funk had first told my class that we would be singing a song every day, the whole class went silent in shock. We didn’t actually think he was going to make us sing. Eventually, it became something that all of us looked forward to each day. My initial reaction to my science teacher, Mrs. Wollbrinck, announcing that we were going to eat nitrogen covered graham crackers was “This could …show more content…
But, that was before I met all of you guys. Before I realized that I would have extraordinary friends and teachers. The Hornets team is like one big family. Sometimes we fight, but most of the time we are all friends. We’ve made so many memories together in these short two years. I’ll never forget the time we acted out our version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Mrs. Rashid’s class. I’ll never forget the time the whole school did the Mannequin Challenge at 11:11. I’ll never forget the time we all went to
In the past four years, I have made strides at my high school much farther than I could ever imagine. Old Colony began as an escape plan from Apponequet, but as time progress I really have made a place for myself within the school. And as I graduate in a few months, I look back to all the wonderful memories and progressions I have achieved while there and smile.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honour to be standing here. I suppose I should actually say it's an honour and a pleasure, but I know the pleasure won’t kick in until this speech part is over.
Next week's commencement exercises will mark the realization of our high school dreams and achievements, the dawning of new challenges and opportunities to pursue college education, and setting the vision for our own professional development. Equally deserving, I would also like to congratulate and express our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to our parents, teachers and administrators, with whom we proudly share our achievements and our joys. This diploma is our gift to you who have cooperatively worked together to see us through four years at Washington High School. To our parents, your immense love and support had provided us with strength and determination to go on when in our youth we did not know which road to take; we could not discern what was appropriate and not; in those critical moments of indecision, you were always there to offer the best for us; in our painful moments of loss as well as our hard fought victories you were there to encourage and protect us.
Ladies and Gentlemen – hello! I would like to start by thanking Eric, on behalf of the bridesmaids, for his kind words. I am sure you will all agree that they look absolutely gorgeous and have carried out their duties magnificently. I’m not sure how much tequila it took, but the bride arrived one time and seemingly cured of all her wedding day nerves.
Today, I discovered that I lost my son. I dont know where is he. I dont know if he's fine and I certainly dont know how is he living. I know its too late
You're there for me all the time. No matter what time it is, and you just don't know how thankful I am for you. I remember meeting you in 5th grade Then I gave you a tbh the begging of 8th grade and then we started talking more. Then later you became my best friend, even though I wasn't yours at the time, you were most definitely mine
Today i m sitting here and to tell you that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen would seem like pure flattery, but it is true. You are the epitome of it and I think of you all the time. I am not saying this to you just to say it, I am saying it because it is true. You know, throughout life, I have never found someone like you – finding someone like you is rare
Welcome ladies and gentlemen (of the jury) to the graduation of 2017. First of all, I would like to say great thanks to my family. To my mom, dad, my brother Chan. For being next to me whenever I needed help and solving problems together. To our teachers, good bye and thank you for supporting us.
Winter of sophomore year, the school began teeming with flyers for the musical Fame. One blustery Saturday afternoon, I ventured to the auditorium of my high school to see what our performing arts department had to offer. I sat, enamored, and told myself that next year at that time, I would be the one on stage. The one belting out notes, the one shimmering under the limelight.
First of all, I'd like to welcome all the parents, relatives and friends, on behalf of the senior class. It has been a long, hard road to graduation and I know your presence here is greatly appreciated. My job as salutatorian is to reminisce on our past here at County High, a past that reads like a script of a soap opera.
Good evening parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and friends. I would like to thank you all for coming to this very special day. I know how proud you must be. As we have grown over the years, there are many stages we all have gone through. From learning our shapes and colors, to getting our first kiss in middle school, or how about explaining to our parents why we skipped school because the principal called home. As we remember these days, things that we've done will be with us forever. But this is only the start of our journey. The day has come where we say goodbye to the big yellow buses, assemblies, assigned seating, and attendance policies. Are you really gonna miss it? For some of us maybe not right away. But eventually we will so for us to be here it is not necessarily an achievement, but a privilege. All of us have been in school over half our lives. To graduate is one more step we've taken in our lives.
But most of all I want to thank all of the Career and Technical Education students that are here to welcome the new Administration and yet again show their abilities, readiness and desire to be responsible leaders in the career path they have chosen. How about a round of applause to all of these hard working guys and gals who are the future of our country. “Applause” We are here today because we have faith in in you! We’re here because we want to make sure that you get all the skills and education you need to reach your dreams and desires. We’re here because we know your dreams are so big and astonishing and also realize that you need all the support you can get! We’re here because we know one of the best ways is through career and technical education also known as CTE. Thanks again, for letting me and your new school board be part of your dream! “Applause”
Good afternoon everyone. Friends, family, staff members, honored guests and fellow graduates. On behalf of the Grad Class of 2016, we were selected by our class to give some parting words. Today is our day. After thirteen years of knowing only these walls around us, our time here has come to an end. We are officially stepping forward into our futures. No longer united on one path, as we are now branching off on our own, taking our own paths.
Valedictorian Speech Good evening fellow graduates, teachers, family members, friends, and distinguished guests. It is a tremendous honor to be the valedictorian of our graduating class. My job is to somehow be the voice of the entire graduating class, and take five minutes to say a few words on behalf of all 539 of us. Like most valedictorians, writing this speech was not an easy task for me. Not because I did not have anything to say, but because I was overwhelmed by how much I wanted to share with you all on this day. Tonight, we have one common purpose, to celebrate. We are here to congratulate, to look towards what the future holds for us, to wish each other well, and to, most importantly look back on our time spent here. So, I would like to start by saying 'well done' to my fellow graduates, who have all worked hard during the past several years to reach this milestone. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the graduating class for selecting me to speak here tonight. Ever since the news broke, many people, some who've I've never really met before, have come up to me and have wished me well. Perhaps this speech would be incomplete if I don’t say something to the teachers. On the behalf of my entire class, I would like to thank all my teachers: thank you. Thank you for teaching us, for leading us, for building us up as adults. I know that we have not given back to you the respect you deserve. I know that we have not told you how much we appreciate you taking time out of your schedules to help us. And I know that we have not said thank you for giving us a wonderful education. So, I hope that as I say thanks, you can forget our shortcomings and remember us for who we are and not from the mistakes we have made. ...
Let me begin by saying that I am very honored to be addressing the County High School Class of 2012 as students of this institution for the last time. We've spent these last four years creating some serious memories: four years of chieftain power, leaking roofs, questionable Homecoming skits, and musical principals. Four years of good teachers, bad teachers, new teachers, old teachers. Four years of youth, music, growing up and breaking free. Four rubber chickens, four yearbooks, four ASB presidents and four chubby bunnies.
