My principal wants me to read a statistic or fact about graduation,
income, reading, math, and other "startling" facts for the
announcements. He hopes to create a culture of awareness inregards to
these issues. I wanted to also include a success story of well-known
people who succeeded even though the odds were stacked against them.
Do you know of where I could look for this information? I have some
websites but I wanted to see what you know.

Just an idea........the person that Will Smith played in the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness.
I just got finished with So You Want to Be President. Lots of neat stuff there!
I have a book you may want to peruse. Wisdom for the High School Graduate ISBN 07624 23404 -- it is letters and snippets of advice from famous people concerning how to be successful in life.
Another idea: some interesting statistics about TV and health, etc. are at www.tvturnoff.org
Also try Bureau of Labor Statistics?
