Ted Alper has been at OHS from the beginning. He notes, “Even today, getting your high school degree from an online school is a little unusual, but back then it was REALLY unheard of, and students and families who were willing to try it had to be real iconoclasts.” But some things stay the same: “I remember having office hours with a student in Iceland, another in Japan and a third somewhere in the Midwest—Chicago, I think, but I may be wrong—discussing number theory and just pinching myself with the unreality of it all.”
