ENCOURAGING GRADUATION (C2G®)

A Commitment to Graduate® (C2G) school culture conveys a constant and consistent message to all stakeholders of the importance of graduation, education, and life-long learning.  These C2G ideas present a framework of successful school-wide and grade level tactics that reinforce the value of the high school diploma, promote a college and career ready future, and instill an individual commitment to graduate from every student. These ideas are designed for specific school settings – elementary, middle, and/or high school – as each level is vital for goal setting, embracing traditions, and celebrating commitment in striving for a high school diploma for every student.
