College and Career Readiness

College & Career Outreach Contest - Summer 2006

Too many students are dropping out of high school, too few are graduating ready for college or careers, and not enough see why a higher education matters.

Entrants selected a medium and created a convincing public service campaign to promote one of the following three messages:

  • Dropping out of high school is never the answer.

  • Plan ahead: if you challenge yourself in middle and high school and take the right courses, you'll be better prepared for college and career.

  • Your education should not end after high school. A higher education will lead to more opportunities in the future.

  • Note: These are student submissions and may or may not reflect the views of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
