Virtual Schools Hoosier Academy & Insight School of Indiana Celebrate Graduates with In-Person Commencement Ceremony

INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hoosier Academy (Hoosier), and Insight School of Indiana (ISIN), two
online public-schools serving K-12 students throughout the state, will
celebrate the Class of 2019 at an in-person commencement ceremony on
Saturday, June 8th. The ceremony will take place at 12:30 pm at the
Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis.

Many assume that attending an online public school like Hoosier or ISIN
means that students miss out on the ‘real’ high school experiences, but
this in-person graduation proves quite the opposite.

This year, Hoosier and ISIN will graduate around 125 students, over 16%
more than 2018.

Collectively, 51% of the class reports having been accepted to colleges
and universities across the country, including: Ball State, IUPUI,
Columbus State University, and Southwestern Michigan.

And over a third of graduates will directly enter the workforce with
jobs or training at places such as: Siemens, Subaru, Valeo Automotive,
and the Indiana School of Phlebotomy.

“Hoosier and ISIN’s Class of 2019 has shown the determination in their
education that will serve them well in college, the workforce, and
beyond,” said Elizabeth Lamey, head of school for both Hoosier and ISIN.
“We couldn’t be prouder of our talented graduates and we’re excited
about everything that lies ahead for them.”

Abigail Villagomez, who graduated mid-term as a Junior, will serve as
Salutatorian and continue to attend Ivy Tech, pursuing the Biology TSAP
program. Abigail, as well as Ms. Lamey, 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. Hoosier and ISIN 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.
