GRADUATE GREENVILLE is implementing three strategies for increasing the high
school graduation rate.
STRATEGY 1: A culture of high expectations for all studentsStrategy 1 will ensure our high schools are learning environments where school faculty and staff have high expectations for all students. All means all. All students are expected to succeed and not only graduate from high school, but leave high school prepared for a career or additional education in a two- or four-year college program. STRATEGY 2: A commitment to extra help and options for potential dropoutsStrategy 2 will build the necessary student support and options to keep potential high school dropouts in school. High school staff members take responsibility for ensuring that low-performing students are matched with needed assistance. For students who find that the traditional high school and the regular class schedule do not meet their needs, alternative and flexible ways of completing coursework are available that keep these students in school. STRATEGY 3: A community that values educationStrategy 3 will increase the value our community places on successfully educating our children and youth. The importance of education in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our community has tremendous impact on student success. We will have high-achieving schools because all sectors of our community will recognize that successfully educating our youth is the greatest single factor that will determine our future economic prosperity and quality of life.
