What Students Are Saying
-
When I first found out I was pregnant I thought my life was over and I for sure didn’t think I’d graduate. But with this kind of school, I was not only able to graduate and go on to college, but I was able to learn parenting skills to help me be the best first time mom I could be.

It’s allowed me to have my daughter be watched while I participate in class. It’s also allowed me time to get some work hours in. I like how it gives so many advantages like the incentive store and transportation. The staffs/teachers are truly really nice people to get along with, it makes my teenage parenting life that much easier.

The best thing about my high school experience was being ‘paid’ for attendance and using it for items at the school store. It was a great system to help us with feeling independent and providing for our children.
