Lyme-Old Lyme High School Honored By College Group

THE LYMES, CT - From Great Schools: Lyme-Old Lyme High School is proud to announce that it has received the College Success Award, which honors schools that excel in ensuring students prepare for college, enroll in college and succeed once they get there.

Launched by GreatSchools.org, the 2019 College Success Award recognizes only 1,722 schools
in 25 states. Award-winning schools have a successful track record of graduating students who
later enroll in two- or four-year college, are ready for college-level coursework, and persist on
to their second year, according to available data from each state.

College- and career-ready graduates are critical to fueling the U.S. economy, as 65 percent of
jobs will require a postsecondary degree by 2020. Lyme-Old Lyme High School is one of the
approximately 20 percent of eligible schools that won the College Success Award.

In response to this recognition, Superintendent Ian Neviaser stated, “This honor is a testament
to the commitment of our students and their families, our dedicated staff, and the communities
that continue to support our mission. We are honored to be recognized as a part of such an
elite group.”

“Lyme-Old Lyme High School is providing their students with a high-quality education that
equips and empowers them with the skills to forge a path to bright futures,” said Jon Deane,
CEO of GreatSchools.org. “We applaud students, parents, teachers and the entire community
for their dedication to pursuing college success.”
