The students of Alabama Destinations Career Academy (ALDCA), an
online public school serving K-12 grade students throughout the
state, will soon move forward to begin the rest of their lives.
ALDCA will celebrate its graduates in person with a commencement
ceremony on May 11th at 2:30 p.m. CDT.
“Our students’ hard work and tenacity paid off. We are looking
forward to seeing what they will do next,” said ALDCA Head of
School, Dr. Kisha Tolbert. “This graduation is for the students to
have their shining moment, recognition of all their hard work, and
a celebration of their future.”
The class of 2023 includes 42 graduates. Approximately 14
students will graduate with a cumulative GPA above 3.5, recognized
with the Cum Laude scale. Sixty-two percent of seniors report
acceptance to trade schools, colleges and universities across the
country, as well as several branches of the military. Many students
are also headed straight into the workforce or will continue at
positions that they have held throughout high school. Collectively,
the class of 2023 reports having been awarded close to one million
dollars worth of college scholarships, and have already earned over
two hundred hours of college credit.
Christien Washington, a 2023 a Gates Scholarship recipient, and
ALDCA’s 2023 highest academic achiever and top-ranking student,
with a 4.3 GPA, plans to pursue filmmaking after graduation.
Addison Rutledge is the second highest academic achiever, ranked
number two, and will attend Calhoun Community College to begin her
degree, in preparation to hopefully intern at Disney where she
plans on working towards her dream to become an Imagineer. The
ceremony’s keynote speaker for the live ceremony will be litigation
attorney, dedicated child advocate, author, and lecturer, Liz
Huntley.
ALDCA’s graduates have crossed the finish line and are prepared
for their next life adventure. Students enroll in virtual school
for a number of reasons—some were looking for the safe learning
environment that online school provides, some were looking to get
back on track to earn their high school diploma, and others found a
community of students and teachers where they could belong for the
rest of their academic career and beyond.
Alabama Destinations Career Academy (ALDCA) students access a
robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host of
electives and attend live virtual classes taught by state-certified
teachers.
Alabama Destinations Career Academy invites all families and
friends worldwide to join the celebration. Details of the
