Want to watch graduation again? 

As a reminder, WestfordCAT is making some changes to how we distribute the recording of the Westford Academy graduation ceremony.

We originally reported on this information on May 30, but we wanted to remind viewers that we are transitioning to an all-digital format for 2023.

In our efforts to limit our carbon footprint and minimize e-waste, WestfordCAT is moving to an all-digital system. Starting in 2023, WestfordCAT will now only offer pay-per-view and pay-per-download digital copies of the ceremony. We will no longer be offering DVDs of the ceremony.

In keeping with the consistency of past years, pricing for pay-per-view will be $15 and pay-per-download copies will be $30.

In the days following the event, a direct link to the 2023 Westford Academy graduation ceremony will be made available for families to make their purchases.

Graduation was broadcast live through our Education channels on both Comcast Ch. 99 and Verizon Ch. 33. Additionally, we hosted both a live stream of the event on YouTube and through our Video on Demand website.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please do not hesitate to contact us at 978-692-7152 or via email.
