Former West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise is on a mission. Ever since he was governor of West Virginia, he has been pushing high-school graduation as a major goal for states, cities and individuals. As a member of Congress he pushed for financial aid for college, and as governor of West Virginia he signed legislation to fund the PROMISE scholarship program to help high-school graduates continue their education. He was able to see a significant increase in the number of students completing high school and entering college while he was governor.
