Abstract: The purpose of Diploma On! is to re-engage students who have dropped out of school within member districts and ultimately increase the graduation rate in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Program staff obtain student contact information from identified referral sources within each district, normally after a 15-day drop. Next, they contact the student and/or caregiver to establish a relationship and attempt to reduce the barriers that are preventing them from attending school, with the goal of reenrolling the student in a program/school that fits their needs. Since its inception in spring 2012, at least 191 of students referred to the Diploma On! program have successfully completed their GED or received their high school diploma. This summary presents some of the key data collected by program staff about the students who were referred during the 2019-20 school year. In addition, this summary includes the stories of two students who faced significant educational barriers but ultimately earned their high school diplomas with the support of Diploma On!.
