Escambia Schools To Live Video Stream Graduations, Beginning With Northview

May 29, 2015

The Escambia County School District will be live streaming high school graduations this year, beginning Saturday with Northview High School.

Escambia County School District will be offering a chance to view seven 2015 high school graduations via live stream on the district’s home page.

“We are excited to offer this to our students’ family members who may not be able to travel to Pensacola for these milestone events,” said Malcolm Thomas, ECSD Superintendent. “This is the first time we have tried this and we plan to start the feed for each event about 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to allow everyone time to access the feed from their computers at home, or from out of town.”

“We are especially proud to try this for military family members who are stationed overseas or forward deployed,” Thomas added.

The link to each graduation live stream can be found by clicking here.  The video can be watched for free on almost any computer, smart phone, smart TV and many other devices.

Graduations with live video streams will be held as follows:

  • Northview High School — May 30, 2015, 4:00 p.m., Northview High Gym
  • Booker T. Washington High School – Jun 1, 2015, 11 a.m. — Pensacola Bay Center

    Awesome idea! Hope it all works out. This is great for the smaller schools with limited space.

    What a great idea! Just heard about a graduation in my son-in-laws family where they had to limit the number of attendees due to moving the graduation inside. It’s REALLY awesome for family members that live far away too!

    Kudos!

    Congrats to all the graduating seniors! Most especially to my beautiful daughter Elizabeth Mullins who is graduating from West Florida High School! Our family that won’t be able to come will be able to watch now!

    Thank you for streaming the graduation. I live in IL and can not be there. This is the best idea I have seen in a long time. Thanks again now I can watch my niece graduate from Escambia High School.
