I am the senior class advisor at CCDHS. Does anyone have a great idea for a graduation speaker that I can suggest to the seniors? Please include a brief bio and contact information. Our deadline for ideas is February 1st.

Mr. Bill Zook

Scott Brown.

How about Josh Rath?

Richard, I have been lectured enough times by Dad to know that might not be so much fun!

A representative from Planned Parenthood. I'm serious.

Brad Schmitz is one of the head people in Fish,Game and Wildlife for Montana and mainly for are eastern area. He will give good advice and inspire. One day he will be FGW top guy in Helena. His wife, Heather, teaches alternative school at the @ the CCHS.

Only if Ms. Gerber were around; God rest her soul.

Bobby Kenny

what about Dr rauh or maybe Mrs.Patch(brandon's mom). being shes gonna all the way to the top to fight for her son and showing how dedicated someone can be to there causs.

Basil Pius - yeah, I'm biased, but some of the best advice I've ever gotten came from him. He's an excellent speaker and can share all kinds of pearls.

Rob Shipley

+2 for Basil Pius. I'm biased *because* he's inspired me so much, is a thoughtful and warm fellow, and has great stories from wide, life experiences.

I hate to say it but I don't remember anything about what the speaker at my graduation said. I really wasn't listening actually, I was so excited to be doing it I really wasn't up to listening to a speech hehe.

you're not alone levi and I'm from class of 2009

+2 for Rob Shipley

Get Shipley and I'll be there.

I was pretty drunk at our graduation. Good times! Who was our speaker Levi? I don't even remember. I do remember we had like 4 co-valedictorians and all of them chose to forgo a speech except Emily Swogger. Poor girl was pretty unpopular for that decision but looking back it was probably the right one for her at the time.

I third basil what a great guy :-)

Way out of the range, but here is my suggestion... Conan O'Brian. Why? Because he is a real life example of what every parent/teacher/role model has told their kids to do... When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Exactly what he did recently with NBC.

Mrs.Patch(brandon's mom). being shes gonna all the way to the top to fight for her son and showing how dedicated someone can be to there causs.

Please stop trying to make me hate CCDHS. I'm begging you.

Anyhoo ...

I graduated with Levi and J. Dyba and I can't remember anything about our graduation ceremony, either. Might have been better if I had been drunk. Or if there had been starting lineups and six people wheeling out the valedectorian (the salutatorian, of course, would be sitting awkwardly with the family of the valedectorian).

AND NOW ... YOUR VALEDECTORIAN ... A FOUR-POINT-OH STUDENT ... NUMBER ONE ... SMARTY MCSMARTERSON!!!




And just so you know, I really (rilly rilly) don't care. Be thankful that my 5,000th post isn't a Haiku.

The speaker had some weird nickname like Froggy or something. And I know Jay Voelz gave at least a brief valedictorian speech because he ended it with "Be young, have fun, and drink........Pepsi." I guess that's about the only thing I remember from the ceremony.

well we could have the mayor to teach the kids how to get proper license and insurance to drive or we can have the judge dukart he can talk about how to avoid Dui's and still be a judge.....

or clint eastwood

Basil Pius would be an awesome speaker. He spoke in my of my college classes at MCC and was awesome. Not to mention how great of an individual he is. I think he would be a great speaker

I repeat, Planned Parenthood representative.

The kids won't listen, anyway. All I remember about mine was he mentioned he never spoke over ten minutes so he put his watch up to time himself. So it was short.

I second Wendy's suggestion...great idea..

Are you kidding, Amorette? Sex is a guaranteed attention-getter.

I think I must have been at the graduation that Levi, Josh and Brian all mention - but I can't remember any of it. Was that the dude from Microsoft, or was he the class of 2000's speaker?

Apparently, these things aren't the most memorable of experiences. I remember my wife's better than my own..

Mrs Harvey. She has been with this class since they were in 7th grade. She moved to the high school when they became freshman. She is an awesome person and the class really likes her.

[Pipe dream]

Ellen. Her commencement speech at Tulane University was outstanding.

I was wondering if a graduation speaker was ever chosen.. My friend has posted a video on Facebook that I think might be good for Miles City youth.. Seems to be a good motivational speaker..

Here's the link

Bobby Kenney!

Tiger Woods or Jesse James

If Ellen had been at Tulane in '87 I might have gone to my graduation. Great speech.

Did we have a speaker at graduation?

I like Wendy's selection. Planned parenthood's are a good idea. I think we should have one in this town, it would dramatically lower the amount of teenage pregnancies that this town is plagued with.

Josh, Levi and Brian,


No idea either. The only thing I remember is getting yelled out in rehearsals.
