Senior Speeches

A Hyde graduation is special—every graduate writes and delivers a speech that addresses who they are, acknowledges the family members and mentors that have supported them along the way, and shares the wisdom they have learned at Hyde. The student’s parents also graduate, and their son or daughter writes a heartfelt thank you speech to honor their involvement in the family education program. Listen to what Hyde’s 2011 graduates have to say about their experience at Hyde and their hopes for the future.
