The Global Graduate initiative was developed to help Houston Independent School District (HISD) students be successful in college and in the global workforce upon graduation. The program emphasizes six characteristics in its Global Graduate Profile: A Leader, Adaptable and Productive, A College-Ready Learner, A Critical Thinker, A Skilled Communicator, and A Responsible Decision Maker. Board Goal #2 states that the percentage of graduates meeting the Global Graduate standards will increase three percentage points annually from the 2017 baseline of 70 percent to 85 percent by 2022. In order to see how well the district is doing in preparing students to be Global Graduates, a survey was administered through Survey Monkey® to all HISD high school students during the Fall 2017 semester (November 6-17, 2017) and again during the Spring 2018 semester (April 2-20, 2018). This report analyzes survey responses collected from the Spring administration and changes from the Fall to the Spring.
