Parent Pathways

The Florence Crittenton School actually began as a home for unwed mothers called the Florence Crittenton Home. By 1981, the community no longer had a need for a home where unwed pregnant women lived, secluded from society, until they gave birth and put their babies up for adoption. Girls were keeping their babies, and the community needed a school where teen mothers received support, academic education and the parenting skills needed to raise a healthy family.
