Event Description

Driven by the philosophy that there is more than one path to graduation, Raise DC’s third annual Graduation Pathways Summit will be an opportunity for schools, education leaders, and community partners from across the District of Columbia to uncover new data and strategize ways for all DC youth to succeed in high school. Featuring a keynote address by Jim Shelton, President of the Chan Zuckerberg Education Foundation and former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, the Graduation Pathways Summit will highlight voices and ideas that seek to ensure more DC youth start high school on the right foot, recover if they have fallen off track, and reconnect if they have dropped out.
