Abstract	High schools that enable educators to nurture the distinctive interests and talents of all groups of students can help more students stay in school and find the motivation to prepare for college and careers. By implementing six clear-cut ideas, or conditions, that evidence shows can lead more students to success, schools and communities can realize great dividends. Evidence from Southern Regional Education Board's (SREB's) "High Schools That Work" initiative confirms that more students can be prepared for postsecondary opportunities--college, advanced career training or both--when schools combine rigorous academics, authentic projects and assignments in academic and career/technical classes, and guidance and extra help. This report identifies six clear-cut conditions that schools can create in their career-focused programs of study to increase students' college and career readiness.
