Maine Virtual Academy (MEVA), an online public-school
serving K-12 students throughout the state, will celebrate the
Class of 2019 at an in-person commencement ceremony on Friday, June
7th. The ceremony will take place at 2 pm at the Augusta Civic
Center.
Many assume that attending an online public school like MEVA
means that students miss out on the ‘real’ high school experiences,
but this in-person graduation proves quite the opposite.
This year, MEVA will graduate around 60 students, with many
being accepted to colleges and universities across the country,
including: North Carolina State, University of Maine @ Orono, Beal
College, Southern New Hampshire University, Unity College, and
Oregon State University.
“MEVA’s Class of 2019 has shown the determination to master
their virtual education, which will serve them well in college and
beyond,” said Dr. Melinda Browne, head of school for MEVA. “Many of
these students have spent all four years of high school at MEVA,
and they have succeeded by utilizing our flexible learning
environment to achieve their individual goals."
The Class of 2019 is the first class that entered as freshmen
and are graduating from MEVA. The school opened its doors in Sep.
2015.
Lana Mavor will serve as Valedictorian and plans to attend North
Carolina State with a full scholarship for their D-1 Tennis Team.
Emma Paradis will serve as Salutatorian and plans to attend
University of Maine at Farmington. Both students, as well as Dr.
Browne, will be available for media interviews.
MEVA helps students thrive by offering a personalized academic
program and daily interactions with teachers via their online live
ClassConnect sessions. MEVA students access a robust online
curriculum in core subjects, can take a host of electives, and
attend live virtual classes taught by state-licensed teachers.
Details of the graduation ceremony are as follows:
