The graduations will take place concurrently in McFarland at the
McFarland High School on Wednesday, June 8 at 6pm. Details for the
graduation can be found below or on WIDCA’s or WIVA’s Facebook
pages.
“Our graduates have worked so 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 Head
of School Dr. Sara Cutler. “We’re so happy they made it to this
point and look forward to seeing what they do next.”
Collectively, the Class of 2022 for all three schools– which
includes more than 300 graduates – reports it has been accepted to
trade schools, colleges and universities across the world,
including: University of Southern Mississippi, Madison College,
Marian University, University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, Southwest
Wisconsin Technical College, University of Wisconsin at Green
Bay.
Turina Bakken, Provost from Madison College, will provide the
keynote address for the Class of 2022. Turina oversees all academic
schools, the University Partnership center, continuing and
professional education, business development and much more! Her
professional experience includes positions in both private and
public sector as product manager, marketing/promotions director,
and program/communications director. She is well poised to bring an
inspirational message to the graduates.
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.
An online public-school program, WIVA is available tuition-free
to students in grades K-12 who reside anywhere in the state. ISWI
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. And WIDCA is for students
who want to focus on college and career training, and even earn
college credits, while still in high school.
Wisconsin families and students choose these schools because
they provide an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar
education. Athletes, advanced learners, and students seeking a
bullying-free environment can balance a full academic course load
along with extracurricular pursuits or medical needs.
WIVA, WIDCA, and ISWI are inviting all families and friends
worldwide to join the celebration. Details of the graduation
ceremonies are as follows:
