According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, in 2022 only 62% of high school graduates enrolled in a four-year college after graduating from high school. In our district, more than half of recent graduates choose alternatives to the four-year college route: they attend community colleges, enter the workforce or join the military.
Webster County High School, where I teach, is committed to preparing students for life after graduation, whatever path they follow. I believe that scientific literacy is essential for every high school graduate because it equips them with the skills to evaluate information critically, make informed decisions and understand the impact of science on everyday life.
