After two years of questions and distractions, the students from
Ohio Virtual Academy (OHVA), an online public school serving K-12
students throughout the state, will celebrate its graduates with an
in-person commencement ceremony this weekend.
The graduation will take place this Sunday at the Celeste Center
on the Ohio State Fairgrounds Campus. A virtual ceremony will
commence Thursday, June 30th. Details for the graduation can be
found below or on OHVA’s Facebook page.
OHVA is set to graduate just over 1,000 students during the
commencement. Kristen Griessmann, from Miamisburg, Ohio, is OHVA's
Class of 2022 Salutatorian. And since Kristen participated in
College Credit Plus, she is also graduating from Sinclair Community
College with an Associate of Arts degree in Music. Kristen will be
performing the National Anthem at graduation and giving a speech to
the class of 2022.
And OHVA is celebrating its improved testing scores in Math,
ELA, Science, & Social Studies which increased during the last
two years of COVID, while state numbers declined overall.
“Our graduates have worked hard these last few years to overcome
more obstacles than ever before, and I for one can’t wait to give
them some recognition for all their hard work,” said OHVA Head of
School Kristin Stewart. “We very much look forward to seeing what
they do next.”
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.
OHVA is inviting all families and friends worldwide to join the
celebration. Details of the graduation ceremonies are as
follows:
