“Our graduates from INDLS, INDAS, HCCA, GEO Focus Academy and
INGDA, are examples of incredible perseverance to do whatever it
takes to complete their high school education and earn their
diplomas, along with CTE certifications and dual credit, in our
personalized, rigorous virtual environment. Our teachers and staff
are looking forward to seeing them walk across the stage, in
person, to receive recognition for all their hard work,” said
Dwight Ashley, Executive Director of Indiana Gateway Digital
Academy. “Our graduations have a different level of emotion and
meaning for each student and family, and for our staff.”
Over 300 Indiana graduates earned college credits while
attending high school, while roughly 35 earned state career
certifications, and numerous others participated in hands-on work
learning experiences. The school takes pride in providing 100% of
its students with intense career and college readiness programming.
A large number of graduating seniors have reported they will attend
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 thanks to their school’s focus
on career readiness.
“It is so inspiring to experience students growing so passionate
about their futures and to take part in the recognition of their
accomplishments,” said Elizabeth Sliger, Executive Director
of Indiana Digital Learning School. “We are so excited for all the
great things they do next.”
These graduates have crossed the finish line and are prepared
for their next adventure in life. 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 or to enhance their
learning opportunities, and others found a community of students
and teachers where they could belong for the rest of their academic
career and beyond.
Each K12-powered online virtual school provides students access
to a robust online curriculum in the core subjects with a host of
electives and live virtual classes taught by state-certified
teachers.
Families and friends are invited to join these graduates in
celebration of their achievement. Details of the graduation
ceremonies are as follows:
