ISOK’s state-certified teachers provide assistance helping students fill in skill gaps and move toward high school graduation, which makes this event particularly meaningful for ISOK students and families.
“Our students have all worked so hard to reach this significant milestone,” said Sheryl Tatum, head of school at Insight School of Oklahoma. “We set out to help students who have experienced setbacks get back on track toward their high school diploma, and this year’s graduates prove that with hard work and support, you can meet your full potential.”
Jesseca Lee Seals is the Class of 2017 valedictorian and Ruby Ann Cheatwood is the salutatorian. Seals will address her classmates, while Alan Eldridge, human resources manager for K12’s Central Region, will also deliver remarks. Additionally, ISOK teachers and staff will be in attendance to recognize the students’ achievements.
