Senior Speeches
Upper School
Over the course of four years, our ninth through twelfth graders hear about 350 different and deeply personal speeches. This Senior Speech program is a much-anticipated rite of passage as students are keenly aware they will have a turn at the podium and are eager to do well. The program not only builds community by providing the opportunity for students to learn about each other and to share ideas, it also serves as in-house speech class. Seniors choose their own topics and learn about delivery, projection, and topic selection.
