Thank you for coming today to attend the graduation ceremony at No. 3 Junior High School. First of all, I’d like to congratulate all the students who are here today. I remember meeting all of you when you were just starting Grade 7 at this school. You were all so full of energy and thirsty for knowledge. And yes, some of you were a little difficult to deal with! But today I see a room full of talented young adults who are full of hope for the future. You’ve all grown up so much and I’m so proud of you.
Although you’ve all worked very hard over the last three years, none of you did it alone.

For the last sentence above, I think it’s also appropriate to use the present perfect tense in the main clause to agree with the tense in the although-clause like this:
Although you’ve all worked very hard over the last three years, none of you has done it alone.
What do you say?
