After two years of questions and distractions, the students from
Ohio Digital Learning School (ODLS), an online public school
serving 9-12 students throughout the state, will celebrate its
graduates with an online commencement ceremony this week.
ODLS is a credit-recovery school, which features a high level of
personalized academic, social, and emotion support to help students
not only catch up but excel in school. The ceremony will take place
virtually on June 3rd at 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM and all details can
be found at ODLS’ Facebook page.
“Many Ohio families struggled these last two years, and our
students were no exception. I’m so proud of everything these
students have accomplished. No doubt it’s been a challenge, and I’m
looking forward to what they decide to do next,” said ODLS Head of
School Kate Harkless.
Many students chose ODLS to catch-up with their high school
career, but also had a chance to look to the future with College
Credit Plus, a program that allows students to earn college credits
at the same time they are in high school. For 2022, At least 2
students took advantage of this program and are graduating high
school this week on track to earn a college degree.
The graduating class reports it has been accepted to colleges
and universities across Ohio and beyond including Youngstown State
University, University of Toledo, Columbus College of Art &
Design, Wright State, and Marshall University.
Prior to the pandemic, students enrolled in virtual school for a
number of reasons—some were looking to escape bullying, some may
have fallen academically off track, and others were looking for an
alternative to the traditional classroom setting.
