Life After High School: The Next Chapter

This book is a collection of stories of eight young adults in Kentucky. Their backgrounds are diverse. Their journeys are personal. They do share one common thread; they are each actively pursuing the lives they want to live. Several of the chapters will highlight a connection with education that students have made when high school comes to a close. We know that education pays off in terms of employment, and furthering one’s education, be it through college or technical school, is an option that many young people in Kentucky choose.
