The second student will be chosen using the following guidelines:

 

1. Must be a member of the graduating class

2. Submit by a certain date (to be announced each year) a speech of approximately 3 minutes in length.

3. Present this speech verbally to a panel comprised of:

            3 members of the senior class chosen by lottery

            3 members of the faculty - including the Senior Class English teacher and two         other members of the faculty chosen by the High School principal

            The High School principal

4. The panel will choose the best speech. The panel's decision will be final.

 

If the student with the highest weighted GPA chooses not to speak at graduation, a replacement speaker will be chosen using the above guidelines.

 

The School Committee must approve any outside speaker(s) (non-faculty, non-student).
