Senior Speeches
Senior speeches at Saint Thomas Academy are presented to the school community during formation. Family members and close friends of the senior presenting on that day are welcome to attend. Please note: the large group setting may be inappropriate for those who are at increased risk for COVID-related illnesses.
Formation begins at 10:00 a.m., except on late start days when it is 10:25 a.m. We recommend that guests park in the main parking lot and enter at the main door of Flynn Hall ten to fifteen minutes before formation begins to make their way through Flynn Hall and into Founders' Hall before passing time so the hallways are less crowded. Guests will view the speeches from the railing on the upper level near the administrative offices.
The speeches will be recorded by the school and we will provide a link to the recording. Guests are welcome to take their own photographs and recordings.
