After two years of questions and distractions, the students from
Indiana Gateway Digital Academy (INGDA), an online public school
serving K-12 students throughout the state, will celebrate their
graduation with an in-person commencement ceremony at the Indy
Convention Center this weekend.
Staffed by state-licensed teachers, INGDA is an online
public-school program of Clarksville Community School
Corporation.
“We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate the INGDA class of 2022 and
the tremendous work they’ve accomplished,” said INGDA Executive
Director Dwight Ashley, Sr. “Our students worked so hard to get to
this moment, and we can’t wait to see what they do next.”
This year, INGDA will graduate 120 students. Twenty-five percent
of these students have earned credit in honors, AP, or Dual Credit
courses. College-bound graduates have accumulated an average of
$20,000 in college scholarships.
Members of the graduating class report they have been accepted
to colleges and universities across Indiana and beyond including
University of Cincinnati, Ball State University, Indiana
University, Purdue University, and Ivy Tech.
Alex Overpeck is INGDA 2022 valedictorian and plans to study
elementary education with a minor in music composition at Indiana
State University in the fall. Natalie Workman is the class
salutatorian and will attend Indiana University to study
sustainability. The ceremony’s keynote speaker will be Luke Grim,
the students’ Government and Economics Teacher.
Along with a graduation ceremony, INGDA students will celebrate
their accomplishments with an in-person prom in Indianapolis at the
Hilton on Market Street on Friday, June 3.
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.
INGDA students access a robust online curriculum in the core
subjects and a host of electives and attend live online classes,
including dual credit pathways, taught by state-certified
teachers
Details of the graduation ceremonies are as follows:
