Media interested in any graduation ceremony attending should email pusdpr@pusd11.net in advance.

Peoria Unified’s high school graduation ceremonies at State Farm Stadium will be streamed live by the Peoria Student Broadcasting Network (PSBN). A link to the livestream of each graduation event will be available on the district’s website at www.peoriaunified.org/graduation. PSBN provides students with real-life learning opportunities in all aspects of professional and social media. Since its inception in 2013, students have been exposed to the newest technologies and gain several hours of experience and learning outside of the classroom. While PSBN students are typically responsible for capturing district sporting events, they also expand their knowledge and understanding of live broadcasting by highlighting one of the most exciting moments in any student’s life, graduation.

Peoria Unified families will be able to access high-definition video of each graduation ceremony after the event on Peoria Unified’s YouTube Channel here: www.YouTube.com/PUSDOfficialChannel.
