Press release from Albuquerque Public Schools: May 5, 2022 Graduation rates at Atrisco Heritage Academy High School have been rising, going from about 71 percent in 2018 to nearly 82 percent for the Class of 2021. Principal Irene Cisneros is understandably proud of this accomplishment and shares some details on how it came to be. "We have a really robust family center, dean of students, and coordinators of different areas," she says. "We tasked them with a list of students who were our highest need, reached out, and were able to bring those students back into the school."
