Three South Carolina Residents Will Answer Parents’ and Students’ Questions About New Online High School

CHARLESTON, SC – April 22, 2009 – Provost Academy, South Carolina’s newest free online public high school, has named 3 South Carolina residents to travel the state to inform parents and students about this new and innovative education choice now available.

Provost Academy South Carolina is a new state-authorized public online school that is free of charge to residents of South Carolina, and offers high school students the public school choice of an engaging, adaptable and quality online learning experience. Students work toward their regular public high school diploma — recognized by colleges and employers — as they would in a traditional school, but in the convenient, safe environment of their own home through computer-based educational programs.

Diana Blue is the Community Outreach Director for the Lowcountry region. She is a resident of Myrtle Beach, and a long-time educator. In addition to her role with Provost Academy, Diana also serves as Principal of Chabad Academy in Myrtle Beach.
