I am currently enrolled in Ombudsman. I will be finished earning my credits by December of this year 2011. My home school is considered Rangeview Highschool so I will be recieving my diploma through them. My sister is a senior at Gateway Highschool and will be graduating at the end of this school year. I am assuming that I will be walking with Rangeview, although I would prefer to walk with my sister through Gateway. Is it possible for me to graduate and recieve my diploma through Gateway instead of Rangeview? and if so, how would I go about getting that setup?
Thank you for your time,
Richelle Ann Hill
Hi Richelle,
We are so excited to hear that you are expecting to graduate this year! That is awesome! Your question about graduation ceremonies is something that we could get involved with if it were a ceremony that we were holding to celebrate your acheivement. However, since your ceremony will be held by your home school, it would be best to contact someone at Rangeview to coordinate this possible setup.
Do you know how to get in touch with your counselor?
Let me know if you need any help.

Hi I was wondering, I want to enroll in Ombudsman because I have a daughter of my own and no one to watch her. And I really need to finish school this is my last year and I was wondering if you all hav a childcare in your school? Thanks!
Hi Joeann,
We are so glad that you are interested in enrolling in Ombudsman. It is great to see young parents doing what they need to do in order to finish high school. We will have someone contact you to discuss your inquiry. Thanks!
Have a great day,

Hi im thinking about joining Ombudsman,i was wondering are there going to be the same subjects as highschool
Hi Luke,
It is great that you are looking into joining the Ombudsman family. The courses that we offer, in most cases, cover the same material that you would learn at your original district. We do offer some electives that you might not have at your high school and we don’t offer some electives that they do. We do make it a point to have a different teaching method than at your high school. I think you will find that our program is great for most students’ learning styles. I can’t wait for you to join and see.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Have a great day,
