1 in 6 Texas adults don't have a high school diploma
Left Behind ...Again?
As Texas strategizes how 60% of Generation Texas (ages 25 - 34) can earn a postsecondary credential or degree, the focus must include the 3 million working-age people (up to age 60) in our state who never finished high school... leaving 18% of our workforce behind...again.
Workers without high school educations who are lucky enough to find jobs have a median annual income of $21,362, researchers say, while people with diplomas or certifications earn around $28,000. Texans like to brag, but we should be ashamed at the number of people in our state who still don't have a high school level education. Leaving 18 percent of the state's workforce behind is unacceptable. That's why Educational Goals Academy WILL DO whatever is necessary to ensure that more students take - and pass - one of the exams that opens the door to a high school certification.

Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
