Many assume that attending online public schools like WIVA and
WIDCA means that students miss out on the ‘real’ high school
experiences, but this in-person graduation proves quite the
opposite.
This year, WIVA and WIDCA will graduate almost 207 students,
over 7% more than 2018, with more than 50 students graduating with
honors.
Collectively, the class reports having been offered over
$410,000 in scholarships and being accepted to colleges and
universities across the country, including: Marquette, St.
Augustine, UW Whitewater, UW Stevens Point, and Southern Illinois
University.
“WIVA and WIDCA’s Class of 2019 has shown the determination in
their education that will serve them well in college and beyond,”
said Wisconsin State Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt (R-Fond du
Lac), Education Committee chair, and keynote speaker for the
graduation ceremony. “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.”
Valedictorian’s will be Caleb Beck for WIVA and Savannah Klimpke
for WIDCA. Salutatorian’s are Erin Hutchens, Anna Perryman, James
Rausch for WIVA and Savana Strean for WIDCA. All students, as well
as Nicholas Sutherland, Head of School, will be available for media
interviews.
Students enroll in virtual school 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. WIVA and
WIDCA students access a robust online curriculum in the core
subjects and a host of electives and attend live virtual classes
taught by state-licensed teachers.
