STAY IN SCHOOL Week
(March 27 - March 31)
- Every year, over 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone. That's a student every 26 seconds – or 7,000 a day.
- About 25% of high school freshmen fail to graduate from high school on time.
- A high-school dropout is ineligible for 90% of jobs in America. Stay in school so you can have the dream job you want. It is worth it!
- A high school dropout will earn $200,000 less than a high school graduate over his lifetime. And almost a million dollars less than a college graduate. Want to be a millionaire? Stay in school!
