From Our Graduates – A Collection of Quotes

For graduation, each 8th grader reflects on their time at Friends School of Minnesota and writes a speech. They work with their advisors to revise and practice and then they each give their speech to friends and family during graduation. It is an inspiring and magical night. Graduates will tell you that it is a nerve-racking experience that reminds them that they are ready to take the next big steps in their lives.

The links below have quotes from each graduate’s graduation speech from 2021-2025. The 2026 graduates will be updated by September 2026.
