[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They process in and sit down and then there’s  a graduation speaker, a valedictorian speech, a class president speech. Usually the principal says something. They call the names of all the kids, they turn the tassels. They recess. It’s about 2 hours total. [/quote]

This is not true. There are no valedictorians, most schools don't have class presidents. At the high school where I teach, this is the agenda:

Process inward
Pledge of allegiance/color guard processional
Welcoming remarks from principal, introduction of all the "distinguished guests" on the stage (school board members, politicians)
Band or chorus performs a song
Student speaker
Faculty speaker
Faculty award to outstanding senior
Read all 500+ names
Turn tassels
Recessional

It takes every minute of the two hours.[/quote]

+1, and at times it is so painfully boring…[/quote]

This.  They really need to cut down on the speakers.  Some are painful to listen to and go on forever.  [/quote]
