Florida Virtual High School Graduation

School Spirit & Lasting Memories

The ceremony concluded with the traditional cap toss, allowing graduates to collectively express their excitement and readiness to embrace new challenges. The tradition dates back to 1912 when it originated at the U.S. Naval Academy.

We’re proud to see our Full Time students graduate in-person each year. This special event goes to show how even a virtual school can foster a sense of community that creates lifelong friendships and inspires students to boldly move toward their bright futures.

More than 1,250 students received their high school diplomas from Florida Virtual Full Time Public Schools (FLVS Full Time) on May 27, 2025. The ceremony took place at the University of Central Florida in the Addition Financial Arena.

This milestone event, attended by thousands of students, family members, friends, and supporters from across the state, highlighted the achievements of students who chose a nontraditional, flexible learning path through school choice and excelled in a rigorous academic environment. FLVS Full Time is the only fully virtual public school district in Florida.
