Your move Sankey
(For what it's worth, Tom VH says that it has been in the works for a while)
I love this! I love Harbaugh.

He was probably asked and accepted.
Should be better than the "Kurt Vonnegut" commencement address.
He'll probably be accompanied by Partridge, Jabrill, and Gary. Just further evidence that our head coach is STILL working harder than yours.
is IN the graduating class.
Go Blue!
Maybe i wouldn't be a failure looking for validation from strangers on the internet via upvotes.
Probably still would but I might have had a chance.
That said, this should be interesting/potentially awkward...Harbaugh's not really the best public speaker, he's just the best college football coach.
I'm not sure the non-football people will understand his humor.
I truly don't even remember who gave the commencement address at my graduation, let alone the message.
I'd rather have listened to Harbaugh be weird.
at my HS. It was the principal, valedictorian, and maybe a teacher.
politician-types give the commencement speech previously. I've never heard of a High School graduation where it wasn't simply the principal/valedictorian/salutorian speaking (guest speakers are more a college commencement thing), but Paramus obviously has done this before.
One other weird thing from the article: the commencement is at the Prudential Center?!?! 415 kids in the graduating class, even if each kid had 25 people in his group, they'd still only ~55% fill the place.
With staggered times.............
I know Macomb/Oakland County schools have done graduation at the Palace, rolling graduations throughout a Saturday.
Paramus graduation looks to be 6:30-9 PM on a Thursday night. Other schools could be before/after, although none of those times would be ideal (being a Thursday).
I wonder if media folk (e.g., ESPN) will show up to cover this.
here.
I am a teacher. To toot my own horn, I have been voted to give 4 commencement speeches in my 9 years.
as we were too poor. I think maybe the principal droned on for a few minutes. He had to the there anyway.

Oh crap. Yeah, good call by all. I was thinking of college. My H.S. speaker was the valedictorian.
For sure then, I'll take Harbaugh.
And any other powerhouse HS that will let him.

or any other school in the south where he wanted to do satellite camps.
Energizer is going to sign him up to run around with a drum replacing that pink bunny. What an amazing character.
Harbaugh ABSOLUTELY should launch a series of 8th grade satilitte camps aroudn the country.
And not just because of the SEC stuff. Harbaugh (and his brother) are leading the "War On Football" charge. I have my personal thoughts about it, but why not go out and teach kids how to tackle properly and speak to parents about the recent safety innovations in the game.
Wrap that concept around an elite middle school football camp. Guarantee it would be worth it.
Paramus got any trees he can climb?
Fortunately the SEC won't take offense to the graduation ceremony strategy since most of their recruits don't participate.
This is precisely why I didn't care about the satellite ban (as it related to Michigan). Harbaugh's not going to stop. Harbaugh doesn't know how to stop.
If Hugh Freeze wants to sit on his boat for the entire month of June, one way or another, he and like-minded programs are going to fall behind.
I have to disagree. Freeze sitting on his boat for the entire month of June won't cause his program to fall behind. Their bagmen will still be hard at work...
That's funny, I just recently found out about RCMB. I was actually a bit surprised at how that fan base is actually MORE delusional and obsessed than I had originally thought.
OP should clarify it's at Paramus Catholic and not at Paramus (which is the local public high school).
I just hope he pronounces it Par-am-us instead of Para-mus
"Ban it" - the SEC
