Ohio Connections Academy Recognizes Reynoldsburg Student

Katarina (Kati) Bowyer of Reynoldsburg was recently named one of Ohio Connections Academy’s (OCA) Star Students of the Month for December in recognition of her achievements and leadership in the virtual classroom.

Kati, a senior at the statewide online public charter school, was nominated by her teacher Mrs. Berard in recognition of her positive attitude and the hard work she puts into her lessons. As a Star Student, Kati will be presented a certificate recognizing her achievement and be profiled in Ohio Connections Academy’s student newsletter and on the school’s website.

Kati and her twin sister Kerianne have been attending Ohio Connections Academy since 2017 after the online school they were attending had closed. According to Kati, she likes attending OCA because the flexible schedule enables her to pursue her passion for acting. She also has some health issues for which OCA makes it easier to manage doctor’s appointments without missing a lot of school.

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

Each month OCA recognizes two students in each of the four grade bands for their achievements in and out of the classroom. The following Ohio Connections Academy students were also recognized as Star Students of the Month for December:

• Joseph Lang, 2nd Grade, Kettering
• Dustin Downing, 4th Grade, Xenia
• Mackenzie Henry, 8th Grade, Chillicothe
• Liz Perry, Senior, Cincinnati
