Spend less time trying to be interesting,
and invest more time being interested.

The Dropout Hunter

There is a nationwide emphasis on increasing the number of high school students who graduate and are prepared for education beyond high school and for their chosen fields of work. In order to achieve this worthy goal, the State of Georgia is focusing on providing resources such as a graduation specialist to students that exhibit a high probability of not graduating. The high school graduation coach will work to improve graduation rates for all population subgroups within the school by performing responsibilities such as gathering and analyzing data for individual students; identifying potential barriers to graduation; developing and implementing individual intervention strategies, and working with students to develop a graduation and achievement plan to include the best program to meet academic and postsecondary goals.
