Students at seven campuses – Bailey, Beulah, Brown-Barge, and Ransom Middle Schools; Escambia, Tate, and West Florida High Schools – will benefit from a $1.5 million, five-year project designed to promote Esports Escambia County Public Schools.
Workman Middle, Pensacola High and Booker T. Washington High – inside the city limits – will not benefit from the grant.
Esports: E is for Everyone provides militar-connected students from all walks of life an opportunity to be part of a team at seven military-connected schools within the Escambia County Public Schools (FL).
Access to coaches, equipment, resources and competitions will afford rich experiences for all students at four ECPS middle schools and three ECPS high schools. New extra-curricular Esports teams will pique interest, increase attendance, spark ingenuity, and remove physical and social barriers to ultimately close achievement gaps.
