Imagine

Imagine schools...

• Where all students graduate with a diploma.
• Where there is articulation among all levels from preschool through graduate school to support students moving along the educational pipeline.
• Where no student is ever “lost” in the system.
• Where there is seamless support for students moving from one school level to another, regardless of state or location.

Imagine communities...

• Where expectations for each subsequent grade or level are clearly shared with parents and students in planning for success and school completion.

Imagine states...

• Where preparing students for college success and completion becomes a shared goal beginning in preschool.
• Where graduation from high school is not viewed as the end of education, but rather a vital stepping stone to college and graduate school completion.
