Education is a key social determinant of health (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2013). High school completion rates indicate how successful our families, schools, and communities are in supporting youth in achieving high school graduation. High school graduation is now the minimum education level for most employment options, and therefore an important foundation for positive work place conditions and future employment success and well-being (Mikkonen & Raphael, 2010). High school completion is important to ensure that citizens have the basic skills to participate actively in society.
