Hello everyone, and thank you for coming to the graduation ceremony for the CAL Class of 2017. Today is a day of celebration and rememberance as we look back on the strenuous work and the great effort we have all put into receiving our high school diploma. Not only is this a day worth remembering, but a day to spend surrounded by the people that love us most and are here to support our accomplishments that we have triumphed throughout our high school education. Whether those people are family, friends, or faculty members, we thank you for being here.
Today fifteen high school seniors will walk across this stage and receive their diplomas. To some, fifteen might not seem like that many, but within those fifteen high school seniors is a bond
Congradulations class of (insert any graduating year). These are the words that come out of every single high school valedictorian since the beginnings of its creation. In the eyes of many students, the valedictorian is the most intelligent and hard working student in their school. What seems like a mildly important position has stirred some controversy among the students who aim to achieve that position. Margaret Talbot in Best In Class uses anecdotes and appeals to logos in order to show that the position of valedictorian should move to a more friendlier position.
While we have grown together as a pledge class, we have learned that although the pledge process requires commitment and a lot of extra time, it has built us significantly. Our time-management skills have improved as a necessity in the context of our own maturity. Through these moments I am proud to justify that we will soon be members of an organization larger than us. This bestowal placed upon us is an outstanding privilege we shall not take for granted and celebrate respectfully. I am honored to say you have all changed me for the better.
The title of the most ‘Disorganized, Sporadically Planned, Disaster of an Event of the 2016-2017 School Year,’ must sadly be granted the 2016-17 National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. As a brand new National Honor Society Inductee, I was honored with the chance to attend this prestigious event and found myself leaving dissatisfied and disillusioned. The National Honor Society is a well-respected and important organization in the academic community, one that students work hard to achieve enrollment in and colleges view with respect and admiration. The Induction Ceremony is meant to honor these students dedication and scholastic work ethic and pay homage to the Honor students that have come before us. I had much been looking forward the event as a way to show my family how much effort I have poured into my highschool career.
First, to the those who have made this night possible. I, and all the other graduates sitting here tonight would like to thank the Winton Woods High School Administration, Counselors, Teachers, as well as those from around the district, including the Winton Woods School District Board of Education and Superintendent for the countless nights that they invested in us over the past 13 years. While many times it felt like you were being unreasonable and much harder than necessary, we can see now, your persistent nature was borne from your unadulterated passion to ameliorate our lives for decades to come. Second, on behalf of the Winton Woods Class of 2017, we would all like to extend our deepest appreciation to the friends and family in attendance tonight.
Hello, Singh. How are you doing? How was your night? I hope you had a restful night and a splendid and safe day. About your message from yesterday, I told you that I read it slowly and paying too much attention in every word you wrote.
Please accept my sincerest congratulations on winning the 2016 “Tennessee Teacher of the Year Award.” I am very proud of you. Being recognized for this incredible honor is indicative of the high-quality teachers throughout the Kingsport City School System who serve the students each and every day and ensuring their success not only in the classroom, but also in life. I commend you for the enormous impact you have on your students through your tireless and steadfast commitment and your exceptional teaching. I am quite confident you have truly made a difference by inspiring and assisting many students to grow emotionally and academically, and I know you have left an imprint forever in their hearts.
Even though it went by quickly for you, it felt like an eternity for us, until we got onto this stage today. I remember watching this ceremony as a fifth grader, and never knowing how quickly we would be on the same stage. Now we are on stage, graduating as 8th graders to continue our education onto high school and eventually college. After walking out of those doors tonight, we will begin a new chapter in our lives.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Dr. Anne Howard and I am the Dean of the students here at the University of Michigan. I am so pleased to be with you tonight and to have the chance to introduce our keynote speaker, Akosua Atweaban. She is a notable alumni of this school and has gone on to become Head Nurse at New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell. She has been one of the top nurses at this hospital for several years, and is a true stand out in this field.
Dear staff and delegates of Kawana Waters State College, It is with my upmost honour, and pride that I announce to the college that I have been successful in gaining a position at the National Youth Science Forum 2017. After a thorough application process of submitting expressions of interest and formal letters, endorsements by local Rotarians and ending with the district interview yesterday, I have received confirmation that I will indeed be attending this well-respected and prestigious science forum. In this email I would like to briefly outline what is to come and acknowledge a few special people. I understand that this message is quite large, however if you have the time and are able to read this in its entirety, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is to ask you let me apologize. I'm not sure it is ok to do so here, but let me just at least write a sorry to you (and explanations and hopes, I know it might be just annoying but wished to share). I'm very sorry about last night and same past events which I think awful to everyone on the site. I'm sorry to scared you and made you feel sick. And for the past events.
Every year, Upperclassmen are looked to as trend setters when it comes to homecoming ideas and efforts. This year’s seniors decided to incorporate past rallies to commemorate their time and bring an emotional element to the table. Each homecoming, as they attempt to leave a final, spirited mark on the campus, it is not only important for them to come up with new strategies and different surprises, but in addition, the seniors must prove whether they truly are the most spirited. There’s a lot of pressure on us to do well.” "It's what we will be remembered by.

I am privileged to be with you today at your graduation from one of the best high schools in the country. I, today am graduating from Yucaipa high school. Class of 2016! To accurately state how I’m feeling is beyond what words can speak. I want to say thank you to all my fellow classmates that worked so hard (or didn’t to get here).
Good evening to you all. Students and teachers, friends and mentors, siblings and parents. I hope that you are all doing well and have had a great journey as I did. I would like to congratulate each single one of you on this spectacular achievement that we were to accomplish together.
Our sports teams and activities have made it to State level competition, our scholars have received prestigious scholarships and endured the rigors of the IB program, our fine arts students have produced true art in all shapes and forms, and we bred a community of inclusiveness and individuality. That was us, Class of 2016. We achieved such lofty goals due to our unity and passion. Never in my life have I seen a group of people so closely bonded and so willing to include anyone and everyone.
