Online public school graduates to receive their
diplomas at in-person event at Tacoma Convention Center
The students of Washington Virtual Academies (WAVA), an online
public school serving K-12 students throughout the state since
2006, will celebrate its graduates with an in-person commencement
ceremony on June 11 at 1:00 pm at the Tacoma Convention Center.
“Graduation is a magical time for our students,” said Susan
Boyer, Washington Virtual Academies Executive Director. “Being able
to celebrate this important milestone in students’ lives alongside
their parents, teachers and administrators is something we hope
they take with them as they move to the next phase of their
lives.”
Collectively, Washington Virtual Academies class of 2023
includes just over 300 graduates, 8 Valedictorians, and 83 Honor
Students with gpa of 3.5 or higher, and has students that have been

have been awarded scholarships and many are also headed straight
into the workforce or continue at positions that they have held
throughout high school.
“WAVA offers students a dynamic learning environment that
prepares them for career and educational pathways throughout their
academic careers, preparing them to enter the world prepared for
all that’s in front of them,” said Terry Ackerman, WAVA High School

celebrate their future successes.”
