City Club of Central Oregon will hold its October forum on high school graduation rates.

The forum is expected to look at Oregon’s low graduation rate — only 72 percent of students graduate from high school in four years. On hand at the forum will be Culver School District Superintendent Stefanie Garber, Redmond School District Superintendent Mike McIntosh, and Katie Condit, the executive director for Better Together, a partnership under the High Desert Education Service District that is designed to help students thrive from “cradle to career.” The moderator for the event is expected to be Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Shay Mikalson.

The event, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 15, will take place at St. Charles Bend’s Center for Health and Learning, 2500 NE Neff Rd. Attendees must register for the event, and registration closes at 5 p.m., Oct. 12. The cost is $20 for city club members and $35 for non-members, and a buffet lunch is included.
