The Hood River County School District is indicating preliminary data for 2017-18 shows it will have its highest graduation rate in history.  Superintendent Dan Goldman says community financial support through the recently renewed local option levy is a big reason for the continued graduation rate increases, adding the district has also focused on making sure no student falls between the cracks.  Goldman says much of their efforts are focused on reading and language development, engaging students in thinking about their future in a positive light, and emphasizing relationships with families.
