Milton High School

Graduation Speech:

I am happy to announce that, once again, Milton High School is conducting a “Graduation Speech Contest” for our seniors. All seniors are invited to submit a speech they would like to present to their peers. Each submitted speech will be read, and members of the faculty will determine the winning submission. The winning student will have the honor of sharing their speech during the graduation ceremony. The theme for this year’s contest is Overcoming Adversity.

Graduation Speech Contest Guidelines:

The winning student must be in good academic standing, and is on track to graduate.

Any speech that is not considered respectful and positive to all students, staff and community members will not be considered.

Speeches must be written for an audience of graduates and their families, so authors should be sure to be inclusive in their message.

The winning speech must be read by the student who wrote it, so authors must be willing to read their speech publicly on graduation day.

All speeches must be kept to 2-3 minutes in length. That is a rough equivalent to one and a half pages of written work in a 12 point font.

Speeches will be judged on the quality of thought, organization and its relationship to the theme.

Timeline:

Monday, May 24th – All speeches must be emailed to bwright@miltonps.org. Speeches must be written in google doc format and submitted as such. Please note that all speeches that qualify for finalists will be passed on to the faculty as an anonymous document… teachers will not know the author of any of the speeches.

Tuesday, June 1st – The winner of the Speech Contest will be announced at the end of the day

Attention Seniors- In order to receive your High School Diploma, you must satisfy all obligations from past school years. Check your email- if you own for a lost book or other materials, the main office would have sent you an email.

Do you have any clothing that you were planning to throw away? Well there’s no need! Several students from the MHS National Honor Society are holding a donation drive for used clothing. If the clothes are a bit worn--that’s no problem! They will be repaired to ensure that they are wearable for someone in need. All donations will go towards local homeless shelters. The donation bin will be in the foyer of the main office, and will be there until Friday, May 14th. Contact seniors June Padera, Demi Davis, and Olivia Ketler with any further questions.
