"Lifetime Earnings Soar with Education”
Jostens has partnered with schools to bring together
key messaging for communities, educators and
students emphasizing the importance and value of a
high school diploma. This research-based initiative
also focuses on helping students prepare for the future
by setting a career goal beyond high school, which
might include trade schools, the military or college.
C2G provides the framework and materials to:
 Lower the dropout rate
 Encourage a sense of pride for self and school
 Open the door to your students’ futures
 Create a support system
 Engage communities and business partners
 Strategize to increase parent involvement in schools
 Embrace and develop traditions with celebrations of commitment
