In an effort to uphold the District’s mission that all students graduate from high school, High School Graduation Initiative Graduation Coaches, Literacy AmeriCorps Graduation Coaches, and Small Learning Communities (SLC) College Bound Coaches provided mentoring and support services to over 2,500 high school students during the 2013-2014 school year. The coaches worked in collaboration with other stakeholders in nine comprehensive high schools to improve student attendance, monitor academic performance, remove barriers to graduation, and make students aware of post-secondary options. As a result of these services, many students at risk of not graduating were supported in meeting graduation requirements, earning standard high school diplomas, and matriculated into post-secondary college and career opportunities.
