Supporting the Transition from High School to Adult Life

For many students, high school may not be a positive experience leading to a successful transition to adult life. A promising career, satisfying personal relationships, a comfortable home, leisure-time activities--the expectations many of us hold for adulthood--do not materialize for a sizable number of students who leave high school. Despite growing attention in federal policy, research, and the media, for many students, secondary education has not resulted in a successful transition to adulthood. Instead, the outcomes faced by many students when they leave high school are unemployment, financial dependence, and few social relationships.
