Administration The year 1989 has been a celebration jr, Montana as put another candle on the cake and say Happy Birthday Montana We Montanans are very fortunate to live in a big, beautiful state that takes pride in education. The quality of education in Montana is high, as our 19B8 graduates ranked fourth in the nation on their ACT scares. Montana's graduation rate of over 67 percent last year was sixth best in Che country. Montana has the sixth lowest student dropout rate in the nation. Why does Montana rank so high in so many areas7 Because we have students, parents, educators and Montanans as a whole who are concerned about the quality of education Montana has been slow to change, but statistics show that we make only the changes to improve the quality of education. fts our Centennial year ends, we look ahead to what will happen in Montana the next one hundred years We know that we want our children to get a good education at the eleaentarv, secondary and college levels so that they will find good jobs. We know that by having concerned people at the local and state levels we will meet this goal as we loci into the future of Montana. -Mil I lam 0.
