Scholarly Reflection
Wicomico County High Schools will feature a two to three-minute scholarly reflection at each commencement exercise to be presented by one graduating senior. Each school will select this individual from its group of seniors who have achieved summa cum laude status, which is determined at the conclusion of the third marking period of senior year. Specifically, each school will award this honor to the student of the summa cum laude group who submits and presents the worthiest scholarly reflection based on both content and delivery. A selection committee consisting of three teachers (one being an English teacher) and a vice principal will:
- Advertise the selection criteria for this opportunity
- Review the speeches submitted by those who choose to participate
- Make the final selection based upon the established criteria
- Information will be given to students who qualify
