Graduation Quotes from Oklahoma Connections Academy
Melissa Gregory, a school leader at Oklahoma Connections Academy, said, “The progress and achievements of the Class of 2025 have been nothing short of inspiring. As educators, it’s a privilege to support our students as they learn and grow into independent, young adults ready to take on the world. We eagerly await seeing them thrive in the next phase of their lives and wish them much success in all their future endeavors.”
Mallory Stephens from Bartlesville had a positive review of her time in online school. “Oklahoma Connections Academy gave me the opportunity to grow as a student and an athlete,” she said. “The flexibility allowed me to balance over 30 hours of gymnastics training a week while being dually enrolled in community college courses. I was able to work more efficiently, focus on areas where I needed improvement, and take control of my learning. I can confidently say that I couldn’t have done it without Oklahoma Connections Academy.”
