HS graduation speakers

[Anonymous]

Can students request MCPS employees (besides HS principal) not be the guest speaker at the high school graduation in May / June? Do graduations have a guest speaker?

Some do, some don't. Often a local news anchor, elected official, or notable alum.

A BOE member is at every graduation ceremony too and they often give remarks.

Agreed, no BOE or MCPS speaker.

State law requires a BOE member be present at every high school graduation ceremony. Their remarks aren't usually long anyway.

OP, I have never seen an MCPS employee be a guest speaker at a graduation.

Usually, the speaker lineup consists of student leaders (usually class president or something other class officer), principal, BOE member, superintendent or designee and then the guest speaker is usually a local news anchor or local politician. I've never seen an MCPS employee in that last slot.

Which school is having an MCPS employee as the guest speaker for graduation?

Present, yes. But why remarks? No thanks.

Superintendent speaks at each of the 25 or 26 ceremonies (~three ceremonies per day for two weeks)?

Cut out the BOE member speech, and the superintendent/designer's too. Do you know how many are in each school's graduating class? Yeah, let's move it along, folks.

No, not at each of them.
