About Senior Speeches

Each winter, every member of the senior class has the opportunity to take the stage in the Lora M. Robins Theatre and deliver an original speech to an audience of their peers, teachers, and families. This beloved tradition has been with us since the school's founding. Not only is it considered a rite of passage at Steward, but it also reinforces our belief in the importance of public speaking skills and the ability to craft a sincere and passionate message.

Afterwards, individual Senior Speech videos will be available on Steward Snaps for viewing and downloading.

Special thanks to the following Spartans who will photograph the speakers: Caleb Morrison ‘26, Paul Gresock ‘26, Kamran Mohanty ‘26, Dillon Griffin ‘26
