The senior class of Ohio Virtual Academy (OHVA), Ohio’s largest
and most prestigious K-12 public charter school, is celebrating the
end of their high school careers with an in-person commencement
ceremony. The ceremony will be held on June 4th at 1:00 p.m. in
Columbus.
“Our students have worked hard to reach this milestone in their
academic careers, and we are excited to see what they will do
next,” said Dr. Kristin Stewart, executive director of OHVA. “This
graduation is recognition for their commitment and tenacity. We
celebrate our students’ many accomplishments during their time at
OHVA and look forward to seeing them continue to shine as they
enter the next chapter of their lives.”
The Class of 2023 includes close to 1,000 graduates. In total,
this year’s graduates have earned more than $2.5 million in
scholarship awards, with more than 200 students earning a GPA of a
3.5 or higher. OHVA also celebrates 11 students who are graduating
with an associate degree or the equivalent hours through the
College Credit Plus program.
Tabatha Toppins, this year’s valedictorian, will be attending
Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, OH on a full scholarship. She is
planning to earn a degree in Art Therapy and Psychology. Dante
Popivker, this year’s salutatorian, will be attending Cleveland
State University and plans to pursue a degree in Psychology. Both
students will be speaking to the Class of 2023 on June 4th and are
graduating with GPAs higher than 4.6.
OHVA students enroll in online school for a number of reasons,
some are looking for a safe learning environment, some need the
flexibility to support athletic or extracurricular pursuits, or
some may have special medical challenges that prevent them from
attending a traditional in-person school.
