"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

With a statewide graduation rate of 86 percent, Montana public high schools awarded 9,161 diplomas last year. But 1,199 other students who started as freshmen in the class of 2015 dropped out along the way.

Montana must do a much better job of keeping these at-risk students engaged in earning a high school diploma. Their future and our state economy depend on student success.
