ABOUT
CASE is a collective impact effort, with the goal of improving high school and postsecondary graduation rates.
We are working together, and driven by data, to ensure more Philadelphia students graduate on time from high school and college by serving as agents of information, access and opportunity.
Future jobs which provide family-sustaining wages continue to require college degrees and postsecondary credentialing*.
