Hill House Passport Charter Academy Charter School (HHPACS), a
tuition-free public charter school for under-credited students,
serving students under 21 who have not been able to finish their
high school education, will celebrate the Class of 2019 at an
in-person commencement ceremony on Friday, June 7th. The ceremony
will take place at 6 pm at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall
in Pittsburgh.
Many assume that attending a school like HHPACS means that
students miss out on the ‘real’ high school experiences, but this
in-person graduation proves quite the opposite.
This year, HHPACS will graduate over 90 students, 5% more than
2018, and will have over 1,000 people in attendance at Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Hall.
Collectively, 75% of the class reports having been accepted to
two- and four-year colleges and universities across Pennsylvania
and surrounding states.
And just about 25% will directly enter the U.S. Military, or the
workforce with jobs or training in fields such security, tool and
dye, cosmetology, nursing, and IT.
“Our students have shown class, resolve, and determination in
their education and I couldn’t be prouder of the 'Wolfpack' Class
of 2019,” said Principal Bo Jackson. “Like most kids, they have
struggled, and they have succeeded, but it is these life lessons
that will set them up for success as they begin the next chapter of
their lives.”
Noel Haggerty will serve as Valedictorian and plans to attend
Community College of Allegheny. Zaire Mauro will serve as
Salutatorian and plans to attend Community College of Allegheny as
well. Both students, as well as Mr. Jackson will be available for
media interviews as well as to describe the success stories of his
students.
A Student of the Year will be announced at graduation for
his/her ability to overcome all obstacles and graduate near the top
of their class. This student will receive a brand-new laptop
computer and will speak at the event.
Students enroll in Hill House for a number of reasons, including
those looking to escape bullying, some who may have fallen
academically off track, or those looking for an alternative to the
traditional brick-and-mortar classroom setting. HHPACS students
access a robust online and in-person curriculum in the core
subjects and a host of electives, and attend classes taught by
state-licensed teachers.
