“Our class of 2023 has worked so hard to reach graduation day,
and we couldn’t be prouder of what they have achieved,” said Teri
Cady, Executive Director at Destinations Career Academy of
Colorado. “The hard work put in by our students and their families
is proof that when given an opportunity to take charge of your
education, a bright future is within anyone’s reach.”
The three, Colorado accredited, tuition-free schools will
recognize their combined senior classes with a traditional high
school commencement ceremony and offer a live stream virtual
viewing option for those who cannot attend the in-person event. The
ceremony will feature guest speakers from the Colorado General
Assembly, including State Representatives Regina English, Rose
Pugliese, and Junie Joseph.
“Students opt for online learning for a variety of reasons. Some
are looking for a safe learning environment where they can thrive,
some need credit support so they can graduate on time, and others
are looking for increased challenges with their curriculum that
they may not have received in other education environments.
Whatever the reason for choosing online learning, these students
deserve an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments, and this
event is that moment for them to shine,” said Amy Baranco, Colorado
Preparatory Academy and Pikes Peak Online School’s Community
Engagement Specialist.
For students at Colorado Preparatory Academy and Destinations
Career Academy of Colorado, many have already started accumulating
college credits online through the schools’ career prep programs,
including technology, healthcare, and creative arts. One such
student, Noelani (Nani) Dixon of Colorado Preparatory Academy, and
an officer with the National Honor Society, took con-current
college courses in film throughout her senior year, and has been
accepted to the University of New Mexico in the fall.
Family, friends, and members of the media are invited to join
the event in-person or via livestream. Details are listed below
