Celebrate the Class of 2020: "Be the Light" national movement

May 4, 2020

Be the Light Pinellas County Schools is joining the national movement “Be the Light” on Thursday, May 14, 2020.  The national event is designed to honor and celebrate the Class of 2020 by illuminating all district stadium lights at 8:20 p.m. (20:20 military time) for 20 minutes.  In addition, all scoreboards will be set at 20-20. We invite the community to drive by the stadiums and honk their horns as a show of appreciation for the Class of 2020. 

Athletics, marching band, JROTC, and cheerleading are an integral part of the high school experience. and our district believes this is a well-deserved act of recognition. The Class of 2020 deserves this act of recognition given the cancellation of so many important traditional activities due to the national health crisis.   

We want our students to be a beacon of hope for the entire community during this difficult time. The lighting of all high school stadiums will be a message of hope and a message to our seniors that they are constantly on our minds and hearts during this time of sacrifice.  Let’s light the sky and “Be the Light!”
