Many HVAM students took advantage of the school's Early Middle College Program, an integrated sequence of high school and college courses, giving graduates a leg up before they even graduate. This year, HVAM will graduate over 90 students with 4 students completing their 13^th year and earning an associate degree from Baker College and Davenport University along with their High School Diploma.

The graduating class reports it has been accepted to colleges and universities across Michigan and beyond including Butler University, Henry Ford, Schoolcraft, Ferris State, Michigan State, and Oakland University. To date, students have earned $200,000 in scholarship money.

Prior to the pandemic, students enrolled in virtual school for a number of reasons—some were looking to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off track, and others were looking for an alternative to the traditional classroom setting.
