Graduation is June 18, we do not have a concrete plan for graduation. If you are interested in this opportunity you must be prepared to potentially speak all day. Students not selected for graduation may be requested to speak at other senior events in June. We will send out a survey once all are signed up to see what date may work best for tryouts. Tryouts will be mid-late May. You will be asked to submit a COPY OF YOUR SPEECH before tryouts. So be prepared with a speech to submit by May 21st
Speeches should run between 3-6 minutes max in length.
Speeches will be evaluated for Content, Delivery & Overall Impression.
Content: Relevant & appropriate theme/message. Creative. Lasting impression. Positivity. Encompasses majority of student body. Clear transitions & organization of speech.
Delivery: Student was articulate, dynamic, well paced, few verbal fillers, body language, poised, made eye contact, gestures and facial expressions enhanced content of speech.
