"Recently, I saw firsthand what happens
when a small school emphasizes rigor,
relationships and relevance... And it's working.
In just one year dropout rates are way down,
while the percentage of students going on to
college and technical school has more than
doubled. For the first time in Truman's history,
75 percent of this year's graduates will pursue
further education in the fall."
