“I know some families are still struggling with what to do with
their children’s daily education, but for one day, let the students
have their shining moment, the recognition of all their hard work,
and a celebration of their future,” said, Melissa Hausmann,
Executive Director. “We care deeply about each one of our graduates
and we will sorely miss them all. We’re so happy they made it to
this point and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in
the future.”
This year, the schools will have 94 graduates across all three
schools. Most of the students qualify to take advantage of the
Oregon Promise Grant, which helps to pay tuition costs at any
community college in Oregon for students who have a GPA of 2.0 or
higher.
Graduates are exploring in-state opportunities for
post-secondary education, including George Fox University, Portland
State University, University of Oregon, and Oregon Institute of
Technology. Additionally, students are choosing to attend Portland,
Mt Hood, Lane, and Chemeketa Community Colleges, to name a few.
When asked about specific career paths, the Class of 2022
described exploring HealthCare, Business, Education, and Visual
Arts. The class also reported a significant number planning to work
either full or part-time while continuing higher education, which
they view as a valuable and necessary experience.
Students choose online learning for a number of reasons—some are
looking to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off
track, and others are looking for an alternative to the traditional
classroom setting.
Staffed by state-licensed teachers, ORDCA, CVA, and ISOR-PH are
authorized online public-charter school programs delivering a
hands-on, individualized approach to learning. Students can access
a robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host of
electives and attend live online classes taught by state-certified
teachers. Each school is inviting all families and friends
worldwide to join the celebration.
Details of the graduation ceremonies are as follows:
WHAT: Destinations Career Academy of Oregon, Cascade
Virtual Academy, and Insight School of Oregon – Painted Hills 2022
