The national launch of American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen took place last night at Nine Network in St. Louis! It got some great coverage from Stltoday.com

Forum focuses on lowering dropout rate for students: 

Metro High School teacher Barrett Taylor said schools need to adapt curricula to fit student needs. 

He sat Monday night with two other local educators on a stage before an audience of 100 other teachers in a studio at the Nine Network of Public Media (KETC) in midtown. All were there for “American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen,” an initiative by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to discuss ways to solve the region’s high school dropout problem.
