American Diploma Project

• Purpose
  Kentucky was one of five states selected by Achieve, Inc. to participate in this project. The project's goal is to make the high school diploma more meaningful to students, postsecondary institutions, and employers alike by securing an agreement to use high school accountability measures in admissions, placement, and hiring decisions.
