American Graduate: Let's Make It Happen is a public media initiative, supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), to help students stay on the path to on-time high school graduation and future success.

American Graduate focuses on addressing the needs of students and those who support them—from cradle to career—through community-specific projects and resources.

Graduation rates in Cincinnati are below 74%, and among certain populations in the city, are even lower. The national goal is to have 90% of students graduating each year by 2020.

Quality schools with engaged parents, committed community partners, and well-supported teachers and administrators are critical to a child's educational attainment.

CET has partnered with organizations across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to build and support educational initiatives throughout the region.

CET is providing in-class workshops for students, professional development for teachers, and both broadcast and on-line resources for parents and the community.
