Our Mission

The mission of the National Dropout Prevention Center/Network is to increase high school graduation rates through research and evidenced-based solutions.

Since 1987, the National Dropout Prevention/Network has worked to improve opportunities for all young people to fully develop the academic, social, work, and healthy life skills needed to graduate from high school and lead productive lives. By promoting awareness of successful programs and policies related to dropout prevention, the work of the Network and its members has made an impact on education from the local to the national level.
