Florida Cyber Charter Academy (FLCCA), an online public charter
school, will celebrate the Class of 2019—the largest graduating
class for FLCCA to date—during a commencement ceremony on Friday,
June 7th. The in-person commencement will take place at the Church
of the Son in Orlando.
Many assume that attending an online public school like FLCCA
means that students miss out on “real” high school experiences, but
this in-person graduation proves quite the opposite. This year,
FLCCA will graduate more than 100 students.
The school’s amazing cohort of counselors help students apply
for college and help plan their career path. Part of this work
means supporting students in their pursuit of scholarships. During
the graduation ceremony, the FLCCA school community will celebrate
all of their students’ achievements and highlights—particularly
those of Destiny Leonard, Tyona Bowman, and Bethany Pierritz.
Destiny received a $74,000 Danforth Scholarship from Florida
Southern College. Tyona received $25,000 in scholarships, including
a Merit Honor Scholarship of $10,000. She also received a full ride
to the Miami Ad School’s Social Media 10-Week Bootcamp for Social
Strategists and Influencers. Bethany received a $17,000 scholarship
from Wesleyan University to pursue a bachelor’s degree in
nursing.
In a senior survey, the Class of 2019 reports acceptance to
local community and state colleges and universities—including
Valencia College, Pasco-Hernando State College, Palm Beach State
College, Liberty University, Miami Dade College, and Florida State
University. This year’s graduates plan to pursue a number of career
paths, including: pediatric nursing, biotechnology, the United
States Armed Forces, radiology, cosmetology, dental hygiene,
graphic design, and music and entertainment.
“Students and their families have worked so hard to reach this
day. We are so very proud of all of our graduates and the diversity
of talent and passion they will bring to the world that awaits
them,” said Dr. Sandra Anthony, head of school at FLCCA. “I am
confident that the personalized education they’ve received in
online school has prepared every FLCCA senior for post-graduation
success.”
Students enroll in FLCCA for a number of reasons—some are
looking to escape the impact of bullying, some may have fallen
academically off track, and others are looking for an alternative
to the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom setting. FLCCA
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.
“Seeing these graduates and hearing their stories makes me more
optimistic than ever about our shared future,” said FLCCA
Graduation Speaker and Florida Sen. Dennis Baxley. “I know every
Floridian shares my pride in everything they’ve accomplished.”
