Graduates and their guests also heard from student speakers Ryley Koch and Maci Hendry. Koch graduated Magna Cum Laude, was a multisport athlete and ASB vice president, while Hendry also was a multisport athlete.

Students were invited to submit a speech for graduation and the Marina administration team selected the two speakers, one from the Summa and Magna Cum Laude students and another from the graduating class.
