High Schools

The Southern Regional Education Board recognized the critical link between schools and colleges early in our history. For many years the organization has promoted strengthening graduation requirements for high school and better preparing high school students for college and for work. 

SREB supports several efforts to improve high schools:

• The High Schools That Work initiative works to strengthen the academic preparation of vocational students by blending rigorous academic and vocational studies.
• SREB works to improve all students’ preparation for college and to provide students in all high schools with access to Advanced Placement courses.
• The organization promotes the development of college-to-school reporting systems to give high schools more and better information about how their graduates perform in college.
• SREB encourages schools and colleges to work together to raise academic standards and to improve teacher preparation.
• SREB’s Educational Technology Cooperative works with higher education agencies and state departments of education on using technology to improve instruction and provide greater access to a quality curriculum for all high school students.
