Diploma On

Diploma On is a case management service which reengages unenrolled students in their education. Our Diploma On Coordinators work with students, their families, and their schools to guide students into school settings that meet their individual needs. This can include high school, transitions, or adult basic education programming. This is a voluntary and free service for students and families of our member districts and our 287 Community.
