On Sunday, May 18, the High Desert came alive with joy, pride, and powerful moments of recognition as Black Grad HD 2025 took center stage at the Adelanto Plaza & Event Center. This annual celebration is more than a ceremony—it’s a vibrant, culturally affirming event that honors the achievements of Black students throughout the High Desert region.
OnWatch TV and SCORE were honored to be among the proud sponsors of this year's Black Grad, helping to capture and amplify the voices and victories of the Class of 2025.
Livestreaming the Moment for the World to See
OnWatch TV ensured that no family member or friend was left out of the celebration. We filmed and livestreamed the entire event on our ROKU platform, along with simultaneous feeds to six additional social media platforms, making the celebration accessible to loved ones across the country and around the globe.
This media coverage allowed Black Grad HD to reach beyond the venue walls, bringing visibility to the resilience and brilliance of these students and their families.
A Platform for Learning: Interns in Action
For SCORE’s student interns, this wasn’t just another day—it was a real-world opportunity to contribute to a major cultural event. Interns supported the production team behind the cameras, assisting with livestream logistics, operating equipment, capturing footage, and conducting on-site interviews.
Each of them walked away with hands-on experience and the pride of knowing they helped preserve a meaningful milestone for their community. As a surprise to them they all received a small stipend for their hard work.
About Black Grad HD
Organized by community group Five Black Women Who Care, Black Grad HD is an annual pre-commencement celebration that recognizes Black students for completing their academic journeys. The event features keynote speakers, cultural performances, ceremonial acknowledgments, and community showcases, all designed to highlight the strength, heritage, and academic excellence of its honorees.
Unlike larger regional celebrations, Black Grad HD focuses specifically on students and families in the High Desert, offering a space that feels personal, powerful, and rooted in community identity.
The Power of Presence
From proud families waving to cameras, to graduates dancing across the stage in donned with cultural stoles, the spirit of unity was undeniable. It was an event filled with love, recognition, and the kind of joy that only comes from celebrating milestones together.
We at OnWatch TV and SCORE are grateful to be part of these moments—not just as media producers, but as a sponsors, active participants in building community, supporting education, and telling stories that matter.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
