Abstract	Despite the major push for higher student outcomes in graduation, school achievement, and test scores, even when legislated (NCLB, 2001), too many students fail to persist in school, often choosing to drop out as their last resort (Bridgeland, DiIulio, & Morison, 2006). Specifically, one third of the nation's students drop out of school, even when they are not failing in school. Further, half of Black and Latino students do not graduate from high school (U.S. Department of Education, 2008). A number of studies have been conducted on factors that contribute to students' school disengagement and ultimate withdrawal. In this article, the author briefly examines recent reports on diverse students who dropped out of high school, and then discusses a program (the Scholar Identity Institute) that is designed to promote a scholar identity among Black males. Components of the scholar identity model and institute are described. (ERIC).
