At Monday’s Ludington Area School District Board of Education meeting, one of the agenda items approved was to establish a distinct diploma for Oriole Academy graduates separate from Ludington seniors to recognize students who complete the Oriole Academy graduation requirements.

Oriole Academy Director Kyle Fiebig gave a special presentation highlighting what students are learning and achieving.
