Northview Class Of 2020 Graduates (With Photo Gallery, Full List)

June 25, 2020

The Northview High School  Class of 2020 graduated Wednesday afternoon at the Pensacola Bay Center. It was the first graduation ceremony held away from the school campus in the history of Northview.

“First and foremost, I want to acknowledge and honor Jesus Christ for all that He has done and thank Him for bringing me this far,” Salutatorian Kayla McKillion began her address to the class.

“This year, COVID-19 thought it was going to take this day from us, but we are here, ready to take on the next challenge that life brings our way,” she said. “If this pandemic has taught me anything, it is to really cherish the ones around you.”

“As it’s stated in Philippians 4:13, ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me’. Remember that. We did it. The triumphant class of 2020,” McKillion added.

“There is no such thing as a fine line in high school success. There is no either you succeed or you don’t,” Valedictorian Keaton Brown told his classmates. “There is however, a middle ground, a gray area. In this gray area you have those that kept up their grades but also knew how to enjoy high school. So to all the seniors in that middle ground not sitting up here on the stage having to give a 90 second speech, I envy you. And to all those at Northview here with us today that have yet to graduate, enjoy your time. Have a plan and pursue it, but never forget to spend time making memories.”

“Took us a while to get here; there were a few moments several of us wondered if we would be here at all. But here we are,” Superintendent Malcolm Thomas said.

“It’s a small class of 120 graduates, but they’ve packed a real punch into what they have done academically,” Thomas said. He said 19% of the class graduated with a GPA greater than 4.0, and about half the class graduated with a GPA greater than 3.0. Class members earned over $400,000 in scholarships.

The Northview Class of 2020 also honored two members that passed away – Dariontae Richardson and Kenneth Sewell.

    @Sherry, I’m sorry but I know for a fact it was said graduating Summa Cum Laude or Magna Cum Laude or Cum Laude and then each graduate was called in alphabetical order within said distinction. We figured out that they were seated categorically and then alphabetically before the ceremony even started. Escambia High School called all students except for valedictorian and salutatorian in alphabetical order and said which catagory each graduate fell in. So your daughter could have fallen way, way down on the list or you could be thankful for where she did land. I, for one, am just so very thankful they were able to have a ceremony at all.

    Y’all, my grandson’s name wasn’t even listed on the back of the program with the rest of the graduates!
    Congratulations NVHS graduates!!

    William Reynolds, yes I know. They should’ve at least said Summa Cum Laude graduating in alphabetical order and etc. It’s not fair to the ones who worked so hard and thought they would be in order of ranking. Some didn’t find out till they got to the graduation yesterday and was upset.

    “”My daughter was in the top ten but didn’t get recognized. Sad, Northview is one of the only schools around here that doesn’t recognize the top ten.”"

    Northview recognizes honors graduates grouped by GPA (as listed here.) But they did change the order of the Summa, Magna and Cum laudes beginning last year to alphabetical beyond the valedictorian and salutatorian. Unsure why.

    I know Tate High School does not recognize a Top Ten. They recognize a Top 10 Percent in rank order. That was 48 graduates this year.

    Congrats to all the NHS graduates! Proud of you!! Maybe the graduation committee for Northview needs to revisit their policy on the honor graduates. It was just changed last year for some unknown reason from the order being numerical which the students earned their spot to alphabetical order. They need to return it back to the way it has always been and like all other schools in Escambia County graduate in numerical order for the honor graduates.

    Congratulations! My daughter was in the top ten but didn’t get recognized. Sad, Northview is one of the only schools around here that doesn’t recognize the top ten.
