Interested in Making a Graduation Speech?

Applications can be picked up in the front office and are due to Mrs. Meyers in the Principal's Office by 2:45 pm on Wednesday, March 25, 2020.  Auditions will take place on April 2nd and 3rd.

Senior Graduation Speech Guidelines

What are the graduation speeches about?

• The first speech looks back in time to the past four years with the memories of high school, lessons learned, and appreciation for people at Millennium.
• The second speech looks forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead as the class leaves Millennium High School and pursues goals and dreams.

What are the guidelines for the speeches?

• Speeches should be 3 to 5 minutes in length when spoken.
• Speeches should be positive and ceremonial in nature.
• Speeches should pertain to the entire graduating class, not just individuals.
• Speeches should use formal language appropriate to a momentous occasion.
• Speeches should be school appropriate, remembering that families are in attendance at the ceremony.

Who is eligible to submit a speech for possible audition?

• Any current graduating senior is eligible to submit a speech.
• Each graduating senior may submit only one speech per category.

What is the process?

• Students who wish to give a speech at graduation need to submit a typed, double spaced copy of the speech to Mrs. Meyers in the Principal’s Office no later than 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25th.   Each speech needs this form attached with the Senior’s name and the category of the speech.  
• An initial screening for inappropriate content will be done at the office. The speeches will then be reviewed for content and rated.
• The students who write the top speeches in each category will be invited to audition before a faculty panel on April 2nd  and 3rd.  The panel will consist of Millennium faculty.  This panel will recommend to the principal two candidates for the ceremony’s speeches.
