100% Graduation Project
When a community believes in something and takes responsibility for making
it happen, great things can take place. That is the case when a group
of school system employees and several community business representatives
and elected officials joined to form the 100% Graduation Project Team.
More than 100 businesses, civic and faith-based organizations have signed
up to be a part of the 100% Graduation Initiative which is now celebrating
its third year.
The vision for graduation must begin early for students. Reading on grade
level is so important at a young age that the state of Tennessee plans the
number of prisons it will build based on the reading level of children in the
third grade. The majority of all inmates in state and federal prisons are high
school dropouts. By supporting 100% graduation in our community, people
are supporting:
• A safer community
• An improved quality of life
• A stronger economy
• A brighter future
The CMCSS graduation rate moved from 78.5% in 2006 to 85.7% in 2007,
to 88.3% in 2008, to 90.8% in 2009, 91% in 2010 and 93.5% in 2011. These
results came from the focus and hard work of our students, teachers, administrators,
support staff, parents and community members who support the
schools.
For more information on the 100% Graduation Project Team, please contact
Candy Johnson at 920-7955 or candy.johnson@cmcss.net.
