Speech GuidelinesÂ
Introduction – Start your recording with a brief introduction of yourself and the title of your speech.
Length – Speeches should be 3-5 minutes long.
Topic – Your speech should be meaningful to all students, reflecting on:
- How has your time at Springs Charter Schools shaped your education?

Solo and duet performances only – group performances will not be considered.
National Anthem backing music will be provided.
If you need a backing track for your performance, submit it before the ceremony. Acoustic instruments may be considered.

- A recorded video of your speech or solo song.
- A written copy of your speech or the lyrics to your song.
Eligibility RequirementsÂ
