Northview Junior Leads Escambia School Board Meeting Invocation
July 22, 2015
Northview High School junior Mitchell Singleton delivered the invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance at Tuesday’s meeting of the Escambia County School Board.
Singleton, who was invited to led the invocation by board member Gerald Boone, has served as class president each year so far during his career at NHS and serves as vice president of the Northview FFA. He has also served as a messenger and a page in Florida House of Representatives.
During his short prayer, Singleton asked that the Lord guide the school board in making decisions that would have a positive impact in the county.
“I believe that asking for the Lord’s guidance is essential for our nation to thrive. History shows that our founding fathers were of the Christian faith. Which means our constitution was drafted on the foundation of Christianity. The only way we are going to restore America is to put God as our foundation again. We strayed away as a nation, and we are reaping the consequences from that right now,” Singleton said later. “Opening a meeting of the school board, or any other government meeting, with an invocation is just one way we can show the people that we stand with Christ.”

How encouraging to hear about this young man doing the invocation at the school board meeting. And thanks to Gerald Boone for inviting him.
God bless you.
I am very proud to say I know this young man and He is as real as it gets. Young men and women like him are the hope of the future. I will be praying that the Lord will bless this young man in everything He does. We need more young people like him who are willing to stand up and make a difference in this World. God Bless you Mitchell.
So very proud of my Nephew! He has never faltered in his beliefs. Whether you agree with him or not, there’s something to be said for a young man that has the desire and courage to stand up for what he believes. Remember his name. I have no doubt you’ll be hearing it more in the future.
Mitchell, your prayer and thoughts are Excellent.
Thank you and the school board, superintendent and all others in leadership need all the help they can get.
That’s who we need in the White House !
Out of the mouths of babe’s……such knowledge from one so young. Obviously he was trained and taught in the way he should go, but now thar he is becoming a man, he realizes that he was trained in truth and he’s staying fixed on his training. A fine young man, congratulations to his parents for his excellent training.
Thank you for such “good” news. Thank you to Mitchell’s parents for raising up a great young man. This type of young man is EXACTLY what we need to renew our country. Any who don’t agree completely are foolish.
Mitchell, when you run for office, you’ll have my family’s support.
Proud of this young man!
