Recognizes First Graduate from the 22+ Adult
Diploma Program
The students of Ohio Digital Learning School (ODLS), a full-time
online public high school and credit recovery program, will be
celebrated for their achievements with an in-person commencement
ceremony on June 12th at 4:00 p.m. in Cleveland.
ODLS is committed to helping students earn their high school
diploma by removing the barriers that are impeding them, helping
them achieve their dreams. ODLS is an ideal online learning option
for students who may have dropped out in the past or who are
at-risk of not graduating; as well as adult students earning their
diploma through the school’s new 22+ Adult Diploma Program.
The first graduate of the 22+ program is 28-year-old Blake
McAngus of Canton, OH, who wanted to return to school to earn his
diploma to make a better life for his family after becoming a
father.
“It feels great. I wanted to do this for my future so I can now
move on and get the certification I need in truck driving to be
able to better provide for my son,” said McAngus.
ODLS has 431 graduates earning their diplomas this year,
including 99 who graduated in the first semester. Within the class
of 2023, there are 20 students who are graduating a year early and
17 who are first in their families to graduate.
“Our students have overcome a lot of adversity to achieve this
academic milestone, and we couldn’t be prouder for them to see the
payoff,” said Laura Houghton, Operations Manager for Ohio Digital
Learning School. “This ceremony is more than just a diploma; it is
an opportunity to spotlight each students’ hard work and celebrate
their future.”
The ceremony’s student-voted staff speaker will be School
Counselor Janson Jacobsen.
