National High School Alliance Publications

  • Call to Action: Transforming High School for All Youth
    On April 11, 2005, the National High School Alliance announced the official release of A Call to Action: Transforming High School for All Youth, a framework of six core principles and recommended strategies for preparing all of our nation's youth for college, careers, and active civic participation. It is the result of the National High School Alliance's work over the past two years to tap the expertise of its diverse partnership of 40+ national organizations to identify what it takes to produce high academic achievement, close the achievement gap, and promote civic and personal growth among all high-school-age youth. April 2005.

  • Crisis or Possibility? Conversations about the American High School by Monica Martinez and Judy Bray.
    This report examines trends, policy assumptions and tensions that key state education statutes and board requirements hold for high schools. The state policies considered are divided into three categories: policies specific to high schools, such as compulsory schooling, Carnegie Units and curriculum, and General Education Development - GED policies that detail opportunities to learn, such as teacher certification, student retention/promotion, and alternative schools policies that are new and in rapid flux, such as standards and accountability, assessment and high school exit tests. May 2002.

  • All Over the Map: State Policies to Improve High School by James Harvey and Naomi Housman.
    Students from a range of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds are disengaging from and/or dropping out of high school each day. This new report from the National High School Alliance looks at how leaders are beginning to transform America's traditional, comprehensive high school in ways that make it responsive to the needs of all students. Based on proceedings from a series of conferences in the fall of 2003, the report identifies seven "key levers for change," and exposes the gaps and challenges that remain. May 2004
