Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools (ALVA-ECS), an
online public-school serving students in grades K-12 throughout the
state, will celebrate the Class of 2019 during an in-person
commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 16th. The ceremony will take
place at the Montgomery Marriott Prattville Hotel and Conference
Center in Prattville.
Many assume that attending an online public school like ALVA
means that students miss out on “real” high school experiences, but
this in-person graduation proves quite the opposite.
This year, ALVA will graduate almost three dozen students; about
60% of whom are graduating with honors. Student Robert Blum is one
of them. He is this year’s valedictorian who has earned several
noteworthy honors such as the President’s Endowed Scholarship at
Texas A&M University, National Merit Recognition, and the
University of Alabama in Huntsville’s Charger Distinction
Scholarship.
Collectively, the Class of 2019 reports it has been offered more
than $200,000 in scholarships and have been accepted to trade
schools, colleges and universities across the country, including:
Wallace Community College, Maine College of Art, School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Shelton
State Community College, Chattahoochee Valley Community College,
Full Sail University, Troy University, Auburn University at
Montgomery, University of Texas at Arlington, University of
Montevallo, University of Washington, University of Florida, and
Texas A&M University.
“ALVA-ECS students have worked so hard to get to where they
are,” says Head of School, Kayleen Marble. “I know that the lessons
they’ve learned and the relationships they’ve formed in online
school have laid a solid foundation that will extend far beyond
high school.”
Students enroll in ALVA for a number of reasons—some are looking
to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off track,
and others are looking for an alternative to the traditional
brick-and-mortar classroom setting. ALVA students access a robust
online curriculum in the core subjects of math, science, English
language arts, history, art and music as well as a host of
electives. These live virtual classes are taught by Alabama
certified teachers.
