The students of Missouri Virtual Academy, an online public
school serving K-12 grade students throughout the state, will soon
move forward to begin the rest of their lives. MOVA will celebrate
its graduates in person with a commencement ceremony on May 20 at
11 AM.
“We are so thrilled to be celebrating our first ever MOVA
graduating class,” said Steve Richards, Executive Director at
Missouri Virtual Academy. “After four years of existence and
changes in state law, we finally get to celebrate the achievements
of MOVA’s students as a school.”
Collectively, the class of 2023 – which includes more than 55
and approximately 9 students who will graduate with a cumulative
GPA above 3.5 – reports it has been accepted 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 continue at positions that they have held
throughout high school.
As MOVA’s first ever graduating class, each student’s
accomplishments will be celebrated including one student’s
impressive 31 on the ACT. The ceremony will have three keynote
speakers: Steve Richards - MOVA Executive Director, Dr. Tania
Farran - MOVA High School Principal, and Grandview R-2 School
District Superintendent - Mr. Matt Zoph.
Missouri Virtual Academy’s graduates have crossed the finish
line of graduation and are prepared for their next adventure in
life.
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.
MOVA’s 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.
Missouri Virtual Academy invites all families and friends
worldwide to join the celebration. Details of the graduation
ceremonies are as follows:
