Class of 2020
Virtual Graduation Ceremony Speech
“Together We Can Make a Difference”
Dear dignitaries, community members, and parents
Good morning, welcome, and thank you for attending our special ceremony.
Dear Class of 2020,
This graduation ceremony is not like any previous traditional one. It is a very special one.
It is special because you not only worked hard over the course of your academic career, but also because you rose to the challenge of distance learning and made it happen during a pandemic. And today, you all have a success story to share.
For the last few months, together, administrators, teachers, and parents have been working collaboratively and tirelessly trying every means to continue the learning of our students.
Together we have displayed flexibility and creativity, to provide the best approach and to successfully reach our main goal and mission, to continue to meet our students’ potentials and prepare them for the future, whether it is a university, a college or a workforce. And as I always tell my students “Dream BIG”
Together we rose to the challenge of the novel approach of education, the approach of distance learning and succeeded.
Today, you were supposed to cross the stage after all your years of dedication to learning. Today you will not cross the stage, instead, you will cross the camera and still feel the pride and the fruit of your hard work.
Finally, it is with great pleasure and pride to see right before our eyes, year after year, our school growing, upgrading and flourishing, and our students succeeding, excelling and graduating because together we can make a difference.
I am very proud to congratulate our grade 12 students.
Wish you all the best, Congratulations!
