North Carolina Virtual Academy (NCVA), an online public charter
school authorized by the North Carolina Department of Public
Instruction, will celebrate the Class of 2019 during an in-person
commencement ceremony on Wednesday, June 12th. The ceremony will
take place at the Kings Park International Church in Durham.
Many assume that attending an online public school like NCVA
means that students miss out on “real” high school experiences, but
this in-person graduation proves quite the opposite. This year, the
school will graduate more than 50 students.
This year’s valedictorian is Noah Homan who has plans to attend
North Carolina State University where he will study computer
science. Because of NCVA’s dual enrollment program, Noah will
graduate from high school with more than a full year of college
credits.
Collectively, the Class of 2019 reports it has been accepted to
trade schools, colleges and universities across the country
including: Elon University, Campbell University, the University of
North Carolina Asheville, Guilford Technical Community College,
Wingate University, Sandhills Community College, College of Coastal
Georgia, North Carolina A&T State University, and Durham
Technical Community College.
“Every year, our goal is to help students realize their highest
levels of academic achievement. I’m so proud to say our graduates
this year have exceeded this goal,” said NCVA Head of School Joel
Medley. “NCVA’s Class of 2019 is poised for a promising future—in
college, in their careers, and beyond.”
Students enroll in NCVA 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. NCVA 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.
“As a native North Carolinian, nothing gives me greater pride
than seeing our state’s best and brightest achieve their dreams,”
said North Carolina Senator Todd Johnson, NCVA’s graduation
speaker. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the future has in
store for these talented graduates.”
