Area Graduations Scheduled; Warning Issued For Parking At Civic Center

June 2, 2011

Graduations for high schools in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will continue through Tuesday.

Many of the graduations will take place at the Pensacola Civic Center where school district officials are warning of potential problems due to parking restrictions. These parking restrictions are due to the recently constructed Commerce Park in downtown Pensacola.  Graduates and guests attending area high school graduation ceremonies are encouraged to car pool to the civic center, allowing extra time in order to find parking.  Parking in the immediate area of the Civic Center will be limited; those participating in and those attending graduations should be prepared to walk from where they park, according to school district officials.

    My high school class was the last one to graduate on campus. You want to alleviate parking issues, go back to graduating at the schools.

    Does anyone know why other than income for the civic center the county decided on this?

    When do they usually post the names of the graduating Seniors?
