To Graduation and Beyond: Supporting our McKinney Vento Students Through High School

Friday February 21, 2025
3:00 - 4:00 PM
Room 16AB

This session will cover our district’s strategies for working with our McKinney Vento students to support their education throughout high school and beyond into college. We will highlight how our McKinney Vento program partners with our high schools and alternative school sites to aid students experiencing homelessness in grades 9-12. Our unique ideas help us to connect with each of our students, thus increasing both our graduation rate and the number of graduates going on to attend college.
