Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy (LAVCA), an online public
charter school, will celebrate the Class of 2019 during an
in-person commencement ceremony on Monday, May 20th. The ceremony
will take place at the Greater King David Baptist Church in Baton
Rouge.
Many assume that attending an online public school like LAVCA
means that students miss out on “real” high school experiences, but
this in-person graduation proves quite the opposite.
This year, LAVCA will graduate more than 60 students; about 87%
of whom have been accepted to a two or four-year college. This
year’s valedictorian and salutatorian are twin brothers—Jacob and
Abraham Chance. Both plan to pursue a degree in business
administration with a concentration in property management and
realty.
Collectively, the Class of 2019 reports it has been offered more
than $75,000 in scholarships and have been accepted to trade
schools, colleges and universities across the country including:
Southeastern University, Louisiana State University, Northwestern
University, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana
Tech University, Southern University, and Baton Rouge Community
College.
“At LAVCA, we know we’re preparing the next generation of
leaders and we take that job very seriously,” said LAVCA Head of
School Danielle Scott-Johnson. “We couldn’t be prouder of our
talented graduates and we’re excited about everything that lies
ahead for them.”
Students enroll in LAVCA 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. LAVCA students access a robust
online curriculum in the core subjects of math, science, English
language arts, history, art and music and a host of electives, and
attend live virtual classes taught by state-licensed teachers.
“On behalf of everyone in the Department of Transportation and
Development, I would like to congratulate every LAVCA graduate on a
job well done,” said Graduation Speaker Dr. Shawn Wilson, Secretary
of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. “As
the nation’s transportation workforce is shifting, we have to start
engaging tomorrow’s leaders earlier in their education. I am
looking forward to celebrating with the graduates and their
families.”
