Senior Speeches and Poetry

Each year OCHS Administration picks several students to speak at graduation. It is always one of the high points of the graduation ceremony. The opportunity to submit a speech is extended to all 2018 graduates. Speeches should be 2 to 3 minutes in length. The deadline for speech submissions is Friday, April 13, 2018 at 4:00 pm. All speeches should be submitted to Sara Smith at ssmith@odysseyk12.org. Any questions regarding content or if you need guidance in the writing of your speech please see Ms. Smith.

Accessible Seating

There are handicap accessible seats at the graduation location. If a student’s family chooses to sit in the seats surrounding the accessible seat they must arrive in a timely manner to occupy those seats. All seating is first come first serve.

Graduation Dress Code

All graduates should plan to wear dress clothes to the ceremony. No jeans, tennis shoes, or flip flops will be allowed. Graduation gowns look best if pressed/ironed. Hair should be worn in a style that allows the cap to fit on the top of the student’s head. All gowns must be fully zipped. Boys, your gown looks best with a shirt that has a collar.
