By the time her junior year was nearly complete in the spring of 2014, South Central High School student Hanna Wleklinski was ready to quit. Since neither her mother, who worked as a hotel housekeeper, nor her siblings ever graduated, Hanna decided she wouldn’t either. But then, another option came along. Before her senior year began, South Central High School started offering a new program. Called the Satellite Virtual Learning Center, it allowed Hanna to take online classes in place of traditional ones. By the first week of April (in less than a school year), Hanna had earned the 19 credits she needed to graduate, and she became the first member of her family to do so. Now, when she walks with her class on June 7, she will be the first of her family to collect a diploma as well.
