Education leaders, policymakers, and opinion leaders increasingly turned their attention to the shortcomings of the American high school system. Both major presidential candidates discussed high school reform and the National Governors' Association launched its Redesigning the American High School Initiative. Major newspapers and other publications began to address the issue more consistently and in depth. As momentum grows around high schools, we continue to partner with national, state, and local leaders in moving the national discussion toward solutions.
