Empowering students to build their futures locally! Thank you to our GHAEA team members who represented us at the Abraham Lincoln High School Career Fair today. We love helping students connect with local businesses and organizations to explore meaningful career opportunities.
Partnering with districts to help every student succeed!
For Attendance Awareness Month, Green Hills AEA is proud to highlight our ongoing work with local districts like Harlan Community High School. Through hands-on collaboration, our Green Hills Attendance Consultant partners directly with school teams to build proactive, family-centered systems that help students show up and thrive.
Here is what happens when AEA consultants and district teams work together:
📈 Growth score on state performance profiles for previously chronically absent students jumped from 0.26 (2024) to 5.09 (2025).
📉 Chronic absenteeism at Harlan CHS dropped from 17.4% to 15.2%.
🏃 Stronger systems like "The Attendance Finish Line" and "Comeback Contracts" now give students clear, positive paths to stay on track.
During a recent panel discussion, Harlan seniors shared their top piece of advice with incoming freshmen: Just show up!
We love seeing the real-world impact when our consultants work alongside dedicated educators, families, and students. Together, we’re proving that every day counts!

Happy National HR Day!
