High School Assemblies

High school students want speakers who are real, relevant and worth their time. The assemblies below bring powerful personal stories, creative career insight and high-energy performances that work for teens. Every program is booked through Academic Entertainment with one point of contact from start to finish.

Motivational speakers with real stories

Mr. Peace speaks on bullying prevention, inclusion and teen mental health for students from elementary through high school. Finding Your Purpose shares Samuel Picou's story of resilience and self-image through live music. Corey the Dribbler and Reach Your Buzzer with an American Ninja Warrior athlete connect athletic achievement to courage and hard work. Nick Scott focuses on leadership and decision-making.

Creative careers and the arts

Composer Brent Daniels, an 11-time Clio Award winner, shows teens how movie and game music gets made in Trailer Music LIVE! and Music Technology LIVE!. Speed painter Richard Hight and Emmy Award–winning artist Mark Kistler's Draw Artemis! bring art and inspiration together.

School spirit and STEM experiences

Freestyle Connection BMX and Futboleros make great pep-rally style events. Unique Game Show works for any subject, and BalloonTalk brings a real hot air balloon to campus for a STEM experience students will not forget.

Tips for high school assemblies

• Match the topic to a real need on campus, such as respect, mental health or motivation before exams.
• Give students a follow-up activity or discussion so the message lasts.
• Consider a staff or parent session alongside the student program.
