GRADUATION READINESS
Celebrating Class of 2019
Achieving 100% graduation means knowing every student and what supports they need to reach their goals. Here are a few statistics about our seniors and tracking their achievement towards graduation.
- 320 students graduated from YHS on time.
- In September 2018, 40 students were behind in credit and 24 made it to graduation on time in June.
- Over the summer 5 students from YHS will finish up, and 11 will return next fall to complete their requirements.
- 40 students graduated from YES throughout the year, and 18 walked in the ceremony.
- 54 adults have earned their diploma through the HS21+ Diploma Completion program.
These student never gave up and neither did the adults who are committed to supporting these students to reach their goals.
GRADUATE YELM! SUCCESS STORIES
Career and College Ready Takes a Team
Being graduation ready builts every year from Kindergarten to the senior year. This work begins with students being at grade level academically. Next, we start engaging students in age appropriate exploration of what options come after high school. This is the beginning of the High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP).
Graduate Yelm! partners can and do support HSBP activities. For the past three years, community and business leaders have participated in the Freshman Mock Interview process hosted by the CTE Tech Comm teachers. This embedded career preparation activity provides each student an opportunity to develop a resume, cover letter and portfolio of evidence demonstrating their skills and abilities. Each student meets with an industry professional for a one-on-one interview. Students build personal confidence and persistent through a challenging experience in a supportive environment.
