Cabarrus County Schools Virtual AcademyThe Hive - Parent and Student Newsletter - April 19, 2026

Dear Cabarrus Virtual Families,    

We held our senior walk on Friday, and it was such a joy celebrating our graduates. What excites me most is that every student who participated has a plan for life after graduation. Among them, we have a future 911 operator, a welder, and four students heading off to college. I can’t wait to celebrate each of our seniors at graduation!
