Abstract	The 7th edition of this publication provides updated projections of high school graduates for each year and each state (plus the District of Columbia) through 2022. The profile breaks down the projections by major racial and ethnic groups: (1) American Indian/Alaska Native; (2) Asian/Pacific Islander; (3) Black, non-Hispanic; (4) Hispanic; and (5) White, non-Hispanic. Overall trends include: (1) Peak in the number of high school graduates in 2008-2009, followed by gradually declining enrollments and number of graduates; (2) Highest percentage of growth in the West; and (3) Wide variation in size and make-up of graduating classes. Data for Louisiana should be viewed with reservation, as projections were built on data that included enrollments counted in the months immediately after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when large segments of the state's population were displaced. However, even prior to Katrina, Louisiana was unusual in the South in experiencing diminishing numbers of high school graduates since 2000. Data also show that post-Katrina declines were not equally distributed among Louisiana's racial/ethnic groups: total public-school enrollments fell by 16.5 percent among Black non-Hispanics, approximately four times the rate for White non-Hispanics and double that of other races/ethnicities. Consequently, projections suggesting diversification within public graduating classes anticipated by other states over the next 15 years and beyond may not occur in Louisiana, depending on whether displaced students who return to the state to complete school share similar racial/ethnic characteristics with individuals who were count among those enrolled in 2005-2006.
