Here’s the press release from Roanoke County Public Schools: Friends and families of graduating Roanoke County seniors will once again be able to watch the pomp and circumstance of graduation on Wednesday, June 8 even if they can’t be in the stands in person. For the seventh straight year, Roanoke County Public Schools will provide award-winning live streaming coverage of graduation ceremonies with Graduation Live. Graduation ceremonies being held at the Salem Civic Center this year will be streamed live via the Roanoke County Public Schools Web site at: http://bit.ly/RCPSgradslive
Four Roanoke County high schools are holding graduation ceremonies at the Salem Civic Center:
- 9 a.m.: Cave Spring High School
- 11:30 a.m.: Hidden Valley High School
- 2:30 p.m.: Northside High School
- 5 p.m.: William Byrd High School
Live online coverage for these high schools will begin approximately 5-10 minutes before each graduation begins. Glenvar High School (GHS) has scheduled their graduation ceremony for Highlander Stadium at 9 a.m. and, therefore, will be streamed via tape-delay. In the event of inclement conditions on June 8, GHS will move graduation ceremonies to the Salem Civic Center at 7:30 p.m. If the GHS graduation is moved to the Salem Civic Center, it will be streamed live. Beginning June 9, family and friends can watch replays of 2016 graduation ceremonies with Graduation Rewind. Playback versions of graduation ceremonies from 2010-2015 are still available for viewing online.
