Insight School of Michigan Celebrates Second Graduating Class

LANSING, Mich., June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Insight School of Michigan (ISMI), a tuition-free online public charter school for Michigan students statewide in grades 6 through 12, will honor its Class of 2016 at a graduation ceremony on June 11 at the Michigan Historical Museum. About 50 students will graduate with their high school diploma from ISMI as part of the school's second – and largest – graduating class.

This year's Valedictorian is Jayah Johnson. The Salutatorian is Madigan Branan.

Laura Gibbs, who graduated in 2015 from Insight School of Michigan, will address this year's graduates as the guest alumni speaker. Laura graduated as part of ISMI's first graduating class, after the school opened for its inaugural year in September 2014.  Other past graduates of ISMI have been accepted into colleges and universities including Henry Ford College, Lawrence Technological Institute, and Macomb Community College.

"In celebrating our Class of 2016, we are also celebrating the growth and success of our school," said Marcus Moore, Head of School at Insight School of Michigan. "We set out to help students who have experience setbacks get back on the track toward their high school diploma, and this year's group of graduates proves that with hard work and support, these students can meet their full potential."

Also in attendance at the Insight School of Michigan graduation ceremony are its Board members, Mary Gifford, SVP of Academic Policy and External Relations for K12 Inc. and Dan Quisenberry, President of the Michigan Association of Public School Academies, who will deliver this year's keynote speech.

ISMI is an education option available to students of every ability level, but possesses a competency in helping students who are struggling academically. A credit recovery program is available for students who need to catch up in certain subjects, as well as highly targeted remediation sessions to build specific skills. With a unique and highly supportive approach, ISMI works with students and their families to help them overcome obstacles, including learning or behavioral issues, bullying, family challenges or changes in lifestyle.

To inspire students to work hard and succeed, ISMI combines engaging web-based lessons, live online learning sessions and support from experienced teachers and counselors. ISMI teachers provide instruction and guidance, regularly interacting with students and parents via email, web-based classrooms, online discussions and phone. The online curriculum is bolstered by a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program, as well as a Family Support Team to help students achieve success both academically and personally.
