Date Left High School and Highest High School Grade - Appendix 1

Variables Created

• CVC_HS_LEFT_DATE
• CVC_HS_LEFT_HGC
• CVC_HS_LEFT_HGA

This program creates three variables: the date the respondent left high school, the highest grade completed at that point, and the highest grade attended. These variables are created for all respondents who have a highest grade completed greater than 12, who have received a high school diploma or GED, who are at least age 21, or who are in college. Note that these cross-round variables are created for all respondents, regardless of whether they were interviewed in the current round.
