On Tuesday, state superintendent June Atkinson
honored Early College of Forsyth for having 100 percent of its seniors graduate
in 2015.
The recognition came at a luncheon in Durham
honoring the 11 school districts and 60 high schools that had the highest four-year
cohort graduation rates in the state for the 2014-15 school year.
“I am so proud of the teachers, school counselors,
coaches, principals and district leaders, and others who have worked tirelessly
to make sure more students are graduating from North Carolina’s public schools
than ever before. Their dedication and tenacity enabled the state to reach the
all-time high graduation rate of 85.6 in 2014-15,” said Atkinson said. “As we
honor the schools and districts that do an exceptional job keeping students in
school and on track for graduation, I am hopeful that these award winners will
continue to share best practices and serve as models for districts and schools
across the state.”
Early College had 50 seniors graduate in 2015.
Representatives from the
districts and schools were honored and received plaques at a luncheon held in
Durham. To receive an award, schools must have been open for at least four
years.
