Ohio Connections Academy Recognizes Dayton Student

Caleb Adams of Dayton (Montgomery County) was recently named one of Ohio Connections Academy’s (OCA) Star Students of the Month for December in recognition of his hard work and leadership in the online classroom.

Caleb, a junior at the statewide online public charter school, was nominated by his English teacher, Ms. Kight, because of his hard work and determination to succeed in the virtual classroom.

As a Star Student, Caleb will be presented a certificate recognizing his achievement and be profiled in Ohio Connections Academy’s student newsletter and on the school’s social media platforms. Each month during the school year OCA will recognize students in grades K through 12 who are excelling in the virtual classroom.

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

Caleb came to the online school in 2019 to be safe from exposure to the COVID-19 virus. What he quickly discovered and liked about OCA was most of the schooling happened individually and he can work at his own pace.

“What I like about Connections Academy is the flexibility it gives me in my daily schedule,” he said. “I just try to get my schoolwork done early in the day and then have the rest of the day to myself.”

Ohio Connections Academy is hosting online information sessions for families interested in learning more about virtual education. For more information about Ohio Connections Academy or to begin the enrollment process, please visit www.OhioConnectionsAcademy.com or call (800) 382-6010.
