A Virtual Academy graduation
This slideshow requires JavaScript. Traditionally, when high school students graduate and complete their educational journey, they are surrounded by people they see in class every day. However, that is not the case for students attending any one of the six Los Angeles Unified School District Virtual Academy high schools. Launched in 2022, the Los Angeles Unified School District Virtual Academy programs have served as an important alternative for many students, including those who have struggled with bullying, transportation issues or health challenges. Each academy has a specific area of focus: Arts and Entertainment, Business and Entrepreneurship, Computer Science, STEAM, International Studies and World Languages, and Leadership and Public Service. The six academies are home to over 4,700 students combined. At Woodrow Wilson Senior High School on Friday, June 6, the six academies held a joint graduation ceremony to recognize the end of each student's K-12 educational journey. The principals of the six academies were present, as well as administrators, counselors and teachers. 'This is closure for me … This brings closure to why I show up every day,' math teacher Saul Franco said. In the bleachers behind the field, parents waited to hear their child's name called. For many, the graduation ceremony was the first time that they had seen each other outside of Zoom, the platform used for daily class instruction. For some, this was the first time they had seen each other at all, as cameras are not required in the virtual program. 'I honestly didn't know a lot of these people with just their face alone, but it was nice knowing that a lot of these people and I shared similar experiences. It helped build connections I hope to carry into the future,' senior Lulu Varela said. 'This was the first time I had seen many of my own students in person. With many, I only knew their voices over Zoom, but now, I was able to put a face to the voice for the first time at graduation,' Franco said. Although the six salutatorians — one for each academy — did not give speeches, the six valedictorians delivered remarks at the ceremony. Among the valedictorians was Leadership and Public Service Virtual Academy valedictorian Karolina Gamage, who worked on her culmination speech while also attending recent LAUSD School Board meetings to speak against a policy requiring Virtual Academy teachers to teach fully remotely while reporting to physical campuses. Gamage's speech focused on the 'unique achievement' of graduating from a virtual high school. 'Not only did we earn our diplomas, but we did it while resisting the siren call of Netflix, endless group chats and a mysterious urge to deep clean our rooms during class,' she said. 'We mastered the art of typing while eating breakfast. We passed math wrapped in hoodies and blanket burritos. And somehow, through senioritis and screen fatigue, we made it. We did that.' After thanking important figures in her high school educational journey — social studies teacher Lisa McCarrell, math teacher Saul Franco, family and friends, among others — Gamage ended with a reflection. 'I've grown, I've endured and I've learned to believe in myself. And that is the real victory,' she said. Six virtual academy ceremonies later, the students of the class of 2025 had walked the stage, celebrated, and most importantly, officially graduated. Related

EAT Detroit event draws raises money for Detroiters in need
A dining frenzy tantalized the palates and taste buds of more than 1,000 patrons on Monday, June 10, with signature dishes from restaurants around downtown Detroit and Corktown. Diners roamed the streets of Corktown and downtown at the annual EAT Detroit event, dashing into restaurants and feasting on samplings of signature dishes and drinks for the restaurant crawl-style event. A highlight of this year's event is it began and ended with a VIP reception at the historic and renovated Michigan Central Station in Corktown. Mitch Albom, Detroit Free Press columnist, founded and hosts EAT Detroit. The event is a fundraiser for SAY Detroit, the nonprofit Albom founded 20 years ago that helps Detroiters in need. Albom mirrored, with permission, a José Andrés Dine-N-Dash event that he attended in Washington, D.C. The Andrés event follows a similar concept of visiting an array of restaurants and also has a charitable arm that benefits the renowned chef's World Central Kitchen. In its five years, Albom said the event has raised nearly $1 million. 'I think in our fifth year, this sort of cements the event as a permanent red letter, you know, charity day on the calendar,' Albom said. Various diners said the excitement and highlight of this year's event was its beginning and ending receptions at Detroit's stunning Michigan Central Station. It was the first time the opening and closing of the event happened at the same place. Albom said they are going to try and make the train station a permanent part of the event. 'You can kind of feel being in here (Michigan Central Station) that it's (EAT Detroit) grown, and this would have been inappropriate in its first year. We weren't big enough to do it here, and we weren't organized enough to do it here.' More than 1,200 people purchased tickets to the event, which sold out within a week, Albom said, plus an additional 300 to 400 bought VIP tickets. Before heading out to restaurants, a VIP reception took place at the beautifully restored and renovated train station. VIP guests dined on appetizers from Detroit's West Village award-winning Marrow restaurant and Leña, Brush Park's Spanish-influenced eatery. Both restaurants have been named Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Top 10 Best New Restaurants in the past. Albom, Mayor Mike Duggan and Detroit Free Press restaurant critic Lyndsay C. Green spoke to the crowd, highlighting the event, Albom's charity, cheering on Detroit and its restaurant scene. Around Corktown and downtown Detroit, diners feasted on everything from fried catfish bites to roasted lamb shoulder, filet mignon au Poivre, fried lobster, chopped cheeseburger and Maurice salad and meatballs the size of golf balls served with marinara and whipped ricotta and pecorino cheese. Diners could also sip on various summery cocktails and mocktails. It was the first time for friends Anna Sinagoga of Berkley and Diana Gomez of Rochester. 'It's a great way to get people to come downtown and showcase the restaurants in an accessible way,' Sinagoga said. Gomez added that they check out the menus in advance and would 'try to get to as many as we can.' For the roaming feast, diners boarded shuttle buses or walked to participating restaurants, sampling offerings from preset menus of food and drink. More than two dozen restaurants participated in this year's event. This year, Julie Wallace of Eastpointe bought VIP tickets to get inside the renovated train station, which she called 'impressive.' 'Last year we did seven restaurants and are hoping to get to a few more this year,' Wallace said. The evening ended back at Michigan Central Station with a VIP reception featuring a beautiful and delightful array of desserts, including lemon tarts, cannoli, mango passionfruit tart and hand fruit pies. Providing desserts were MK Cannelle, Mad Nice, Prime + Proper, Sister Pie and Townhouse Detroit. Scott and Melissa Ringlein of Ann Arbor have attended every EAT Detroit event and make sure they view the menus in advance 'We like just being able to go to a lot of these restaurants,' Scott Ringlein said. On of the favorite restaurant stops, Ringlein said was Le Suprême, which featured filet mignon au poivre. The Ringleins said they always do VIP and make a weekend out of the event. This year, Scott Ringlein said, they took in a Detroit Tigers game, visited Pewabic Pottery and Detroit's RiverWalk. Michigan Central Station was also a highlight of the event. 'It was the first time I got to come here,' Ringlein said. 'It's beyond miraculous what they did.' EAT Detroit 2026 is already on the website, taking emails to join a waitlist for advance ticket sales. 'You never know how big something is going to get, but I knew when you mixed food and walking and nice weather. You're going to get some kind of crowd.'
