Write a High School Graduation Speech
Follow the instructions and apply the guidelines below to plan and write a high school graduation speech.

The text of your speech should be between 400 and 500 words. For many speakers, this will correspond to a speech that lasts three or four minutes when read out clearly but fluently.
Divide your speech into an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Your introduction should begin with greetings to the entire audience or an expression of thankfulness for the opportunity to speak at the event.
It is customary in a graduation speech to thank all the people who were a part of your school life—teachers, classmates, other schoolmates, non-teaching staff, the head of the school, and parents. You can either do so in your introduction or at an appropriately chosen point elsewhere in your speech.
Use the body of your speech to share the experiences you valued most at school, your memories, and your message for the graduating class. Meaningful graduation speeches usually include some reflection on how school helped the graduating students grow as people and build their character.
Choose points that your audience is likely to appreciate and remember. Consider including an inspirational quote that closely matches your message to your class.
You can also use the body of your speech to mention specific classmates or teachers who influenced you deeply.
You can also mention a memorable, humorous incident that implies how enjoyable life at school was to strike a lighter note in your speech.
Appropriate concluding remarks include looking forward to the future, congratulating your class, and thanking your school staff and classmates again. If you want to emphasize a message, you might wish to restate it (in a different way) in your conclusion.
As the amount of time is limited, remember to choose your words carefully for impact and brevity.
Remember your speech is part of an important shared occasion, and your purpose is to contribute to your audience's experience of the occasion.
