The Graduation Matters Coalition’s mission is to implement support so that all students graduate from high school, prepared for successful futures as they pursue work, college and careers. The Coalition works to enlist and focus the efforts of community members, businesses, community organizations, parents, students, the schools of the Livingston School District, agencies, and governmental entities – in a coordinated, collaborative, group-directed, and aligned effort – to work together to implement strategies aimed at increasing graduation rates and raising student achievement levels so that all job and career paths are open to the children of our community. Projects and partnerships are currently being developed in the following areas:

•    Youth are prepared for college and careers
•    Youth have increased prospects of thriving, belonging and engaging
•    Highest risk youth receive effective services and supports

The Coalition meets at designated times during the school year. Parents and organizations that serve youth are essential in Grad Matters, both as voices to be heard and as an invaluable stitch in fabric that makes up a student’s life at PHS. Contact Lynne Scalia if you want to help.
