Welcome and thank you for visiting. I hope you find this page helpful.
Below are thirteen graduation speeches I have delivered as a principal or headmaster or head of school– some for elementary school students, some for middle school students, and some for high school students. I hope you might find them interesting or useful, particularly if you are a school principal or other school graduation speaker seeking examples or inspirations preparing for your own elementary school, middle school, or high school graduation speech or address.
