Students across Okaloosa are planning to gather around the flagpoles at their schools on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 to pray for their campuses, communities and country.

The annual “See You At The Pole” event draws students together to intercede for their schools and connect with God. This student-initiated, student-organized and student-led event will take place at majority of the schools across Okaloosa County: 

  • Cinco Bayou Christian School – 8:30am
  • Choctawhatchee High School – 6:30am in front of the stadium
  • Crestview High School – 6:30am in front of the stadium
  • Destin High School – 10:45am
  • Fort Walton Beach – unconfirmed, but typically takes place around 6:30am.
  • Niceville High School – unconfirmed, but typically takes place around 6:30am.
  • Rocky Bayou Christian School 

The movement started in 1990 with a small group of teenagers in Texas who came together for prayer before school. It has since grown into a global event with millions participating each year on the fourth Wednesday of September.

If your school wasn’t listed, there is a good chance they have something planned. Please contact your school today for specific times and locations.
