What would a school that graduates all students look like?

How would teaching and learning be designed to ensure all graduates are ready for college, career and life?

Does school design impact dropout rates?

School designers and educators from North Carolina and around the nation will present the innovative high schools that they are helping to create and that are getting promising results.
