In the charts below you can see high school graduating classes are decreasing across the country, but<br />

most rapidly in the New England region. And, within our region, New Hampshire and Connecticut high<br />

school graduating class sizes are projected to diminish 26 percent between now and 2032, a rate of<br />

decline more than quintuple that of the country.<br />

Projected growth / decline by US region and northeast states in high school graduates by 2032, i.e., 15<br />

years out (data from 2017)<br />

CCSNH continues to stay strong on retention and work to increase admissions into our Colleges. This<br />

involves co-authoring an enrollment management strategy aligned with our mission, and bolstering<br />

existing operations with the right tools for broadening outreach, getting more precise at prospective<br />

student segmentation, and better tracking of ongoing outreach efforts. Work is underway to come up<br />

with precise strategies for dealing with specific student segments. These include high school seniors<br />

learning about CCSNH, those high school students already engaged through Running Start and Early<br />

College programs, and non-traditional “adult” learners – segmented by those who have completed<br />

some credits with us but have not wrapped up their programs of study, versus those who are looking<br />

to start or restart higher education with us.<br />
