(Greensburg/Versailles, IN) – Indiana Schools Superintendent Dr. Katie Jenner made several stops in Southeastern Indiana Thursday.
One of those was an appearance before the Greensburg/Decatur County Chamber of Commerce at Greensburg City Hall.
Dr. Jenner noted how K-12 schools, higher education, business and industry have combined to open opportunities for students across the state.
“There’s so much synergy happening for the benefit of kids and for the benefit of local communities when we blur the lines between k-12 and the workforce,” Dr. Jenner said. “I’m so interested to hear from the chamber of commerce about what’s happening in Greensburg and Decatur County, and how we can support the efforts.”
She also said Indiana is tops in the country when it comes to students completing at least one college course in high school, with 64 percent of the state’s high school students earning college credit.
Almost five percent of these students earn a college or career credential before graduating, which opens doors for future opportunity.
Dr. Jenner concluded her visit to the area when she delivered remarks at the Southeastern Career Center’s graduation ceremonies last evening at South Ripley High School.
