Writing a Welcome Speech for High School Graduation
Are you a valedictorian and need help writing your 'welcome speech' for your high school graduation? Read the article for tips on how to write the perfect high school graduation speech and make it memorable.
- Apart from thanking any special guest who is in attendance, it is important that you thank your teachers and parents (other family members) as well for their much-needed support, encouragement, help, and any personal assistance for all these years.
- For the graduating class, praise all your accomplishments and achievements during your years of studying. Take a short journey through the past years. Highlight which events may have changed you all or share any interesting events.
- Since we wish to keep the speech for your graduation a fun affair, bring in funny anecdotes; talk about exciting cases as well.
- You can also add funny one liners, some famous graduation quotes, innocent jokes, and/or poems.
- For fellow students, motivate them to look ahead to a wonderful beginning in their lives. Give advice and add surprising clichés; avoid "spread your wings and fly" and "new chapter in our lives".
- Express your feelings about the class and how you will miss these fantastic high school days. Talk about setting goals, being responsible, making your teachers, school, and parents proud.
- Bid farewell to the audience/attendees. And finally, wish your fellow students/graduates all the best and thank them for listening.
- While coming up with your valedictorian speech, remember who's going to listen to your speech: parents, students, teachers, and other family members and friends.
- Avoid controversial and negative speech topics. Create a light and positive atmosphere at the event with your speech. Always show how excited and honored you are to be the valedictorian.
- Try to bring as much of you as you can in the speech, but keep the language of the speech ceremonial.
- Remember, the speech is not an examination. So keep your head clear and try to enjoy the day to the fullest.
