Did you know that statistics indicate that about 1.2 million students drop out of public high school per year?

In fact, Fox News reported yesterday that “seventeen of the nation’s 50 largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50 percent.”

Colin Powell, former Secretary of State commented that “When more than 1 million students a year drop out of high school, it’s more than a problem, it’s a catastrophe.”
