Pasadena ISD seniors go a-hunting to win prizes
28 May 2020
To honor Pasadena high schools’ seniors, several groups have teamed up to paint the town red and green and orange and blue and yellow and black.
It’s all part of “Paint Pasadena for PISD Seniors,” a virtual scavenger hunt to give the Class of 2020 something special since many events that would normally make for cherished memories of their last year of high school have been taken away during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The May 26-31 event is a product of the combined efforts of the city of Pasadena, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, Pasadena ISD, the city’s economic development corporation and an assortment of businesses.
Scattered around town, predominantly in front of businesses, are 142 colorful signs emblazoned with the logos of all seven Pasadena ISD high schools.
The signs were designed by Colton Hinson, a product of the Pasadena school district.
The rules are pretty simple. Graduating seniors access a map online that shows the locations of the signs. They then find the various sites around town and take a selfie with the sign. It is then posted online tagged #DiscoverPasadena, along with “Pasadena Chamber of Commerce” and the name of the business or the location.
