New Mexico: "Over the last few years, so many of our children, regardless of their backgrounds, have risen to the challenge. When I saw that our 2016 graduation rate was at an all-time high, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Every single one of our children can do it; every child can learn. But graduation isn’t the only place we are seeing outcomes for our kids: More kids are taking AP exams than ever before, more kids are in “A” and “B” schools, and thousands more kids are on grade level in reading and math. I am proud of the teachers and students all across New Mexico who are living these successes." -Hanna Skandera, Former N.M. Public Education Secretary #ALLkids #EdLeaders
