Futures are brighter when a student graduates high school
In 2005-2006 school year, the North Carolina high school graduation rate was 68.3% and in 2018-2019 school year, the rate of graduation was at 86.3%. Numbers like that are well worth celebrating and we have played an active role in schools across the state to contribute to increased high school graduation rates. We help struggling students realize the future they envision for themselves with one-on-one attention that fosters a bond secured by positive influence, mentoring and community outreach.
Walking every step with students on the way to the graduation stage
Serving as a graduation and career coach, we help students facing challenges to make it to graduation and succeed in life. We work tirelessly to uncover any issues, be it in-school, socially or family situations that may be causing barriers to a diploma. Sometimes it is a matter of encouragement and helping to manage priorities and other times the problems are more complex.
Beyond making sure a student has the support necessary to graduate, we also provide guidance and assistance for college or to begin a successful career. Our aim is to help students realize the importance of graduation and to discover their potential after high school:
- Work with school staff to identify students at risk of missing graduation
- Develop an individual plan that allows the student to reach the graduation stage.
- Facilitate school staff, family and community help as needed to mitigate issues and implement graduation strategies
- Assist with college selection, applications and preparation if there is a path to college or vocational school
- Provide job readiness and life skills development for those who must work during high-school and post-graduation
- Engage parents and other important role models in a student’s life who can be a positive influence on their future
- Build lasting relationships with each student and instill confidence for excelling while in-school and one year after graduation
