Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic and protests against systemic racism have shaken the nation in recent months. In addition to presenting an update to the nation on progress and challenge in increasing high school graduation rates on a path to postsecondary and workforce readiness, this report also addresses some of the gaps, barriers, and innovations seen across school systems to strengthen the nation's educational response to these crises and help prepare for those in the future. It also unveils a "Meeting the Moment" plan of action to reach national goals and to ensure that these moments of crisis are used to re-envision education and to leverage what is most important to boost academic and other outcomes for children and youth. Since 2001, the nation has been committed to reaching a 90 percent high school graduation rate and the GradNation campaign has had a focused effort to reach that goal by the Class of 2020. The nation is currently off-pace to reach this goal, which would have required graduating an additional 174,152 students on-time in 2018. Across the nation, there remain serious gaps in providing an equal education to all students. Now, more than ever is the time to commit to meeting the moment on high school graduation and redoubling efforts to prepare students for the rigors of postsecondary education, training, and work. As such, this report lays out an in-depth Meeting the Moment plan of action that targets the remaining non-graduates, identifies critical metrics to strengthen the school to work pipeline, and provides detailed data that will allow states, in a spirit of equity, to develop locally-tailored efforts to support their students' graduations, ready for college, work, and civic life. The report also includes best practices in improving high school graduation rates and strengthening the school-to-work pipeline, highlights ongoing issues with high school accountability, and presents recommendations for policy and practice.
