The Advisory program was undertaken as a means to guarantee each student had a relationship with a caring and trusted adult to follow them through their high school years

Summary
High school graduation rates are historically the yardstick of measurement for school effectiveness and success. Interventions for increasing graduation rates have become numerous, with very little research to demonstrate these interventions are effective. In August 2013, school counselors at Fountain-Fort Carson High School implemented a formalized Advisory period for all students at all grade levels. The intent of the Advisory program was to have 14 to 18 students permanently assigned to a faculty advisor for their duration of time at the high school. Through a formalized and locally written curriculum the students would receive academic progress monitoring, attendance monitoring, and nonacademic curriculum delivery written by counselors and delivered by advisors in conjunction with school counselors. The Advisory program was undertaken as a means to guarantee each student had a relationship with a caring and trusted adult to follow them through their high school years
