It truly takes a village to get students ready for gainful employment. Many factors, both obvious and not obvious, are in play when considering whether a student will find success. Many of our students work outside of school, provide childcare within their families, and have household responsibilities that affect their ability to learn and complete homework. Although we cannot change many of these factors, we can encourage students to make school a priority and not to work more than what is required to pay bills in the household. Informing students that their odds of graduating and gainful employment after graduation go up the more they prioritize their learning.
