Governor Jay Inslee is visiting iGrad in the Kent School District today.

He will meet with staff and students in the award-winning program.

The first of its kind in Washington State, iGrad, which stands for “Individualized Graduation and Diploma Program,” started as a partnership with Green River Community College as a way to recover dropouts. Since this initial partnership, iGrad has also partnered with other community and educational organizations, doubling in size in its first two years of operation. The program has won national acclaim and is being emulated by school districts across the country.
