Description

Press release from Albuquerque Public Schools: May 5, 2022 "Our graduation rate was 56 percent when I arrived at Del Norte in 2019," says Principal Edward Bortot. "The goal was to increase the rate by 3 percent a year, but we're already at 12 percent. And an increase over three to five years is sustainable change." Principal Bortot achieved this boost with multiple initiatives, including emphasizing collaboration between teachers and administration, having a team of counselors staying on top of student records, helping students catch up through recovery programs, and actively building relationships with students.
