Example of a
Valedictorian Speech
Looking for an example of a valedictorian speech? You'll

speech. You can add and change the details to personalize

"Valedictorian" derives from the Latin phrase vale dicere,

meaning to say farewell. In some nations, the student with
the highest grade average of a graduating class accepts
the role and delivers the final goodbye speech at the
graduation event, the valedictorian address. (Valedictorian.
(2018, November 14). Retrieved from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valedictorian)

the school officials hand out diplomas and send the
students on to the next stage of life.
Being your class Valedictorian is a great honor and
Share achievement. Giving a speech that lives up to your prior

success is a challenge. Important things to remember

about giving a valedictory graduation speech are that:

it doesn't have to be lengthy to be memorable
it should honor the school and its officials
it should connect with your fellow students in an
inspiring way.
Start of my example
of a valedictorian
speech
Principal Stevens, Trustees,
Faculty members, family,
friends and fellow
graduates, today is a day to
be thankful and to be
inspired.
Body of the valedictorian speech

First, we have much to be thankful for. Here at Peterson
School we have received a great education thanks to
our fine administration and teachers. We are prepared
to move on and to take on whatever challenges come
next in our lives.
Fellow graduates, I want you to know what a great gift it

is to be as prepared as we are, because not all schools
offer such an advantage. Here we have had a high
degree of academic excellence and whether you intend
to continue your education or not, you will benefit from
what you learned here.
We can also be thankful for our families. These past
four years have presented us with a lot of ups and
downs and it is good to know that we had our families
in our corner, supporting us along the way. Thanks
Share
Mom and Dad. I would not be here today without you.

Finally, we can be thankful for each other. The
 friendships that we have made here will last a lifetime.
In the same way we have supported each other and
helped each other succeed in these years at Peterson, I
hope we will continue to provide support and
encouragement for each other in future endeavors.
Now, what can we be inspired by today?
Personally, I am inspired by our classmate Alan

Rockford who has overcome so much adversity to be
here graduating today. Alan, you have been tenacious
and have had such a great attitude in the face of so
many setbacks. Whenever I get a little down about
something that didn't turn out just the way I wanted it
to, I remember some of the talks we have had and it
gives me the perspective I need. Thank you for that,
congratulations, and all the best!
I'm also inspired by Bill Thomas and Tony Marcos who

are leaving later this week for Marine boot camp. Billy
and Tony, I honor you for making the choice to serve
our country and I feel proud to know you. Please take
care of yourselves and keep in touch.
Conclusion of the valedictorian speech

Often on graduation day we look outside for heroes but
I see them right here among us. I have seen in my years
at Peterson that we don't have to look far for inspiration
and that we each have the potential to make an
inspiring contribution to others, by being true to our
values and committing ourselves to lofty goals.
When you leave here today, celebrate what you have
accomplished, but look forward with an eye toward how
you, too, can be the inspiration for others.
