13. Goal 1: Students Hope, Well-Being and Engagement are the non-cognitive pieces we need to address. Hope, Well-Being and Engagement are also equally accurate predictors of success as academic assessments.

14. Dr. Renee Foose, HCPSS Superintendent

15. Hope: the ideas and energy we have for the future. Hope drives attendance, credits earned, and GPA of high school students. Hopepredicts GPA and retentionin college, and hope scores are more robust predictors of college success than are high school GPA, SAT, and ACT scores.

16. Engagement: the involvement in, and enthusiasm for school. Engagementdistinguishes between high-performing and low-performing schools.

17. Well-Being: how we think about and experience our lives. Well-being tells us how our students are doing today and predicts their success in the future. High school freshmen with high well-being earn more credits with a higher GPA than peers with low well-being..
