6. Chances are you’ll get a better job:

Employers around the country are looking for educated and qualified workers. A recent study shows that

47% of high school dropouts surveyed said that the lack of a high school diploma made it harder for them to

find a good job.

7. You’ll contribute more to your community:

As a high school graduate, you’ll contribute greater amounts to local, state and federal

taxes than dropouts throughout your career. These contributions go to schools, road-

ways and public programs that help promote and develop safe communities.

8. You’re setting a positive example:

The work you put into earning your diploma will speak volumes to your family, friends,

and community.

9. You’ll increase your knowledge:

Learning more about math, science, English, history, and other subjects will help expand your knowledge of

the world around you.

10. It’s your time to shine:

Other people have had their time for success. Now is your time.

SENIORS– A TO Z CONTINUED

TOP 10 REASONS TO GET YOUR HIGH SCHOOL D IPLOMA

1. Students who learn more, earn more:

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates a person with a high school diploma will earn $9,634 more per year than

a high school drop out.

2. You’re less likely to be unemployed:

High school completers are less likely to be unemployed than those who have dropped out of high school.

3. . You’ll open your mind to new things:

By increasing your education, you open your mind to discover opportunities in your life you never knew

existed.

4. College is suddenly within reach:

Virtually all post-secondary institutions, colleges, and universities require a high school diploma or GED. A

high school diploma can give you the chance to go to college

5. You’ll feel better about yourself:

Research shows that confidence and self-esteem are linked to your education level. Those with a high

school diploma had a higher level of self-esteem than those that did not.gh school completers are less likely

to be unemployed than those who have dropped out of high school.

While South Harrison’s

trip to the “Big Apple”

was a rainy one, stu-

dents still saw many ex-

citing things and did a

lot. With the assistance

of the tour guide and

teachers we visited

many famous New York

tourist attractions. The

Statue of Liberty and

Ellis Island, both were

incredible sights to see.

Next they toured the

9/11 Memorial. This

was by far one of the

most amazing things

New York has to offer.

The final destination for

the trip was Times

Square. This area was

full of bright lights and

lots of people. This

school trip offered the

opportunity for students

WV to visit one of the

most exciting cities in
