Ohio Connections Academy Recognizes Milford Student

Luci Arick of Milford, Ohio was recently named one of Ohio Connections Academy’s (OCA) Star Students of the Month for November in recognition of her achievements and leadership in the virtual classroom.

Luci, a 3rd grader at the statewide online public charter school, was nominated by her teacher Mrs. Morgan for her positive attitude, excitement to learn new things and willingness to participate. As the Star Student, Luci will be presented a certificate recognizing her achievement and be profiled in Ohio Connections Academy’s student newsletter and on the school’s web site.

Luci’s parents enrolled her in OCA in the fall of 2017 after the online school she was attending closed. According to Luci it took her some time to adjust to the new system when she first started at OCA, but she figured it out through the one-on-one support from her teachers.

“It’s a great online school that educates me in way that is fun, exciting and helpful,” she said. She added that she likes the field trips that OCA offers and the flexible schedule enables her to participate in Taekwando.

“The faculty, staff and members of the board at Ohio Connections Academy are proud to recognize students like Luci and the commitment they demonstrate to our school and their community,” said Marie Hanna, OCA Superintendent said. “Each of our Star Students are leaders in the classroom and demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to learning – they truly deserve this recognition.”
