Arizona Senator Kate Brophy McGee to Address
147 Online School Graduates at In-Person Ceremony
On Tuesday, May 29, nearly 150 online school students from
Insight Academy of Arizona (ISAZ) will gather for an in-person
graduation ceremony at the Sheraton Crescent Hotel in Phoenix.
Arizona state senator Kate Brophy McGee will deliver the keynote
address to ISAZ’s school-record 147 graduates. “I believe a great
education is the key to every child’s success,” McGee said. “I am
honored to celebrate these students’ graduation from Insight
Academy of Arizona. It represents an important milestone along
their path to a successful future.”
An accredited online public school for students statewide,
ISAZ’s comprehensive education approach focuses on providing
struggling students with the academic, social and emotional support
needed to reach graduation. Using a combination of web-based
lessons, live online learning sessions and support from
state-certified teachers and counselors, the school creates a
unique educational experience for each student that helps to ensure
their success after high school.
Class of 2018 co-valedictorians and sisters Briana Hiatt and
Bridget Hiatt will address their classmates. Both sisters plan to
attend Eastern Arizona College in the fall, Briana to study
accounting and Bridget to study liberal arts. Lily O’Connell, a
teen mom who has overcome many obstacles to make it to graduation,
will also speak at commencement. Halle Vincent, who has been
accepted to the nursing program at Northern Arizona University,
will serve as ISAZ’s salutatorian. In addition, Briana Hiatt is one
of four students who will graduate early from ISAZ as members of
the Class of 2018.
“Graduation is a wonderful time of year, and I am so proud of
each of our graduates,” said ISAZ head of school Kelly Van Sande.
“Our mission at Insight Academy of Arizona is to help students who
have experienced setbacks in their education get back on track
toward their high school diploma, and the Class of 2018 is proof
that with hard work and support, they can meet their full
potential.”
ISAZ graduates reported that they have been accepted to numerous
colleges and universities, including Arizona State University,
Grand Canyon University, Full Sail University, Cal State Long Beach

Students choose online school for a variety of reasons,
including a safe learning environment, advanced learning options
