Keep the current tradition of letting the class president do the honors.

I was a class officer and know all to reall the struggle a class officer goes through preparing their junior year to go to battle to stand if front of your class and say I am your president. The meetings and the planning. It's a lot for a high schooler to handle. I earned my right to stand in front of my class of graduation day and address them on their journey. Southridge is about traditions some new. Some old. But this is one I feel shouldn't have been taken away. I support you.

She was elected to her position; this speech is part of her position.

Dezmarie has done so much for our class she deserves to speak. Graduation speech is a speech that represents the whole student body. Not the story of one person.

As a former Vice President of both my senior class and Student Government at Miami Southridge Senior, I throw my support behind the right of a student class president to deliver the graduation speech to the senior class. I’m a little taken aback that the administration is being so hostile to the traditions that make being a Spartan so iconic.

As a former Southridge Class President, I have to say that reading this is a little disappointing. I hope administration reconsiders.

Words cannot describe how foolish and unorthodox this new policy is. The senior class president is a position in which has been earned and should be guaranteed the right to speak during the commencement of graduation since this individual has not only worked hard for where she is today, but the work she has been putting in all year. As for the individual who proposed this new policy, a speech this significant should never be handed out over a single interview or audition. This graduation speech should always be awarded to someone like the president who has dedicated their unconditional love and support throughout their entire high school career. As for the principal who proposed this idea, this wasn't your best solution. Don't ruin tradition. There's a reason why it's called tradition in the first place.

I have know Dezmarie for a really long time. I can honestly attest that there is no other worthy speaker than Dezmarie. She has worked tiredlesly, to give us the best senior year that we can ever have. I believe that it was an unfair desicion on our administrations behalf, to take e this privilege away from her. DEZ WE SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY. #RIDGEPRIDE #DEZSPEAKS
