Graduation Speech: Building County High School :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

When I first began school in this district at County subaltern High in seventh grade, I had no idea that I, along with my classmates, would have the privilege of building the New High School. Of course I dont fuddled the physical, brick-by-brick building I mean the building of High Schools spirit, the tradition of pride and achievement that permeates every brick, every part of our school. I had no idea what encounter we would have in both the academic and athletic realms.Our group activities have fought for and won honors that can be envied by every other school. Whose football squad broke another schools six year winning streak? Whose debate team is now known nationally as one of the best affiliate teams in the country? Whose band marched for President Clintons inauguration?Yes, it was County High Schools teams that accomplished these and other noteworthy feats. But I believe it was we, the first class to authorize four old age at County, who played a large part in these acco mplishments. We came here as eager freshmen, bringing our energy and ideas to this school. I call all the - glitches and gremlins that plagued us, how History class was as hot as Death Valley and English class colder than Siberia. But we survived.Sophomore year saw the step of County High Schools first class. And run low year, we said goodbye to the class of 11. Many of us had role models amongst them, yet more of us had friends. But as last year drew to a close, we realized that this year would be our year. It was our turn to lead Neda, it was our turn to shine. And shine we did, with a brilliance enriched by our four years of experience in this school. I cannot attempt to list the awards and honors earned by our class, but I can try to express the immense pride I feel when I realize that I belong to County Highs class of 2012.
