Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy Highlights Graduates with In-Person Commencement Ceremony
BATON ROUGE, La.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Louisiana
Virtual Charter Academy (LAVCA), an online public charter school,
will celebrate the Class of 2019 during an in-person commencement
ceremony on Monday, May 20th. The ceremony will take place at
the Greater King David Baptist Church in Baton Rouge.
Many assume that attending an online public school like LAVCA means that
students miss out on “real” high school experiences, but this in-person
graduation proves quite the opposite.
This year, LAVCA will graduate more than 60 students; about 87% of whom
have been accepted to a two or four-year college. This year’s
valedictorian and salutatorian are twin brothers—Jacob and Abraham
Chance. Both plan to pursue a degree in business administration with a
concentration in property management and realty.
Collectively, the Class of 2019 reports it has been offered more than
$75,000 in scholarships and have been accepted to trade schools,
colleges and universities across the country including: Southeastern
University, Louisiana State University, Northwestern University, the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana Tech University,
Southern University, and Baton Rouge Community College.
“At LAVCA, we know we’re preparing the next generation of leaders and we
take that job very seriously,” said LAVCA Head of School Danielle
Scott-Johnson. “We couldn’t be prouder of our talented graduates and
we’re excited about everything that lies ahead for them.”
Students enroll in LAVCA 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. LAVCA 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.
“On behalf of everyone in the Department of Transportation and
Development, I would like to congratulate every LAVCA graduate on a job
well done,” said Graduation Speaker Dr. Shawn Wilson, Secretary of the
Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. “As the nation’s
transportation workforce is shifting, we have to start engaging
tomorrow’s leaders earlier in their education. I am looking forward to
celebrating with the graduates and their families.”
Details of the graduation ceremony are as follows:

Humboldt Seed Company partners with Apollo Green to bring California cannabis genetics to the global marketplace
Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
