Excerpts from 8th-Grade Graduation Speeches

. . . built up my confidence and taught me how to dream. But most importantly . . . showed me how to love and appreciate beautiful and excellent things.

I learned things about myself that I might never have known . . . Being a student at Westminster has opened up a world of possibilities. Having the confidence to pursue my dreams is invaluable.

Westminster School strives . . . for excellence and excellence only.

. . . successfully created a warm, caring, and supportive community where students are able to comfortably learn and achieve their full potential. . . I leave knowing that my education has given me the tools and the confidence to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.
