Enrollment at Local School Reaches Capacity

Enrollment at Marian Pritchett School, for pregnant and teenage moms, has reached capacity making for crowded classrooms. But it's the day care that has especially outgrown its space.

Over 70 percent of teen girls that give birth will drop out of high school. Students at this school, however, are graduating and 95 percent of them are pursuing a higher education.

They have on-site day care and a program to get diapers and clothes in exchange for good attendance. In other situations, students would need to get a job, sometimes two, in addition to school to afford daycare, diapers, and clothes.

A new piece of land has already been purchased for a bigger campus and daycare, but until close to $4 million is raised, the school can’t break ground.
