The Graduation Coach provides assistance to all high school students individually and in groups in regards to high school graduation and completion.  The Graduation Coach analyzes data to identify students or subgroups with the potential of not graduating on time.  She/he also plans, implements, and tracks individual high school graduation plans, identifies and resolves barriers to graduation, and facilitates career choices and planning.

Students with 3 or more of the following indicators will be identified as at risk:

  • Retention, and/or over-age for grade (2 or more years)

  • History of course failure (2 or more core classes-English, Math, Science, Social Studies)

  • Attendance problems/truancy (6 or more unexcused absences)

  • Discipline: Behavioral problems, history of suspensions (2 or more out of school suspensions)

  • Disengagement from school, low expectations, lack of extracurricular involvement

I am elated to serve the students, parents, community, and stakeholders of Hugh M. Cummings High School as your Graduation Coach!
