Every 26 seconds, a student drops out of school. We cannot afford to lose one out of four young people to the dropout crisis. The Grad Nation campaign is a large and growing movement of dedicated individuals, organizations and communities working together to end America’s dropout crisis. Visit www.americaspromise.org today to find ideas, inspiration and resources you can use to help end America’s dropout crisis. Together, we can help millions of young people achieve their full potential.Twitter // www.americaspromise.org // FacebookTumblr (3.0; @gradnation)http://gradnation.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5a4d4ac9c2ce3d95b985e047e610ada6/tumblr_miuc8j83mD1rpdq73o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Alma Powell closes the 2013 Grad NationSummit. @AmericasPromise #gradnation2013</p>http://gradnation.tumblr.com/post/44074545986http://gradnation.tumblr.com/post/44074545986Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:48:19 -0500gradnation2013<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1175dddc4f2f5112b427a83962205733/tumblr_miubux9McF1rpdq73o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Welcome U.S. Rep.
