Welcome to the Chicago Possible™ and New York Possible™ Campaigns, a national grassroots-based effort established to respond to a silent epidemic affecting our nation’s high schools – the high school dropout crisis. Nationwide, 7,000 students drop out of high school every day, that is equivalent to 1 dropout every 26 seconds and only about 70% of students graduate from high school with a regular high school diploma. Annually, that adds up to about 1.3 million students who will not graduate from high school with their peers.
