“This honor reflects the dedication of the school’s students, staff, families, and community to prepare every student for life beyond high school. From a 100% graduation rate to early and ongoing college and career exploration opportunities, Paw Paw continues to show that a small school can make a big impact,” said Morgan County Schools officials.
“The American College Application Campaign (ACAC) is a national effort to increase the number of first-generation college students and students from low-income families pursuing a college degree or other higher education credential,” said the ACT Center for Impact and Learning in a statement about college application efforts.
Paw Paw has also been recognized every year as a Champion of college access and success for events and programs that prepare students to choose educational opportunities for themselves.
