Staying in school is the most important choice that a girl can make for her future, and that of her baby.

• We accept students from any school district.
• Our students study the same curriculum as the other Boise School District secondary schools and earn a regular high school diploma from the Boise School District.
• The Salvation Army provides an onsite day care, counseling, and social work services.
• Bus transportation is provided within the Boise School District.
• Residential living is provided by The Salvation Army for students 18 years and older.
• Studies show that a 16 year old pregnant teen who drops out of school will have 3 more babies before she is twenty-one.

Where I’m From

—a composite poem from Mrs. Murphy’s senior English class at
Marion Pritchett School

I am from humid air,
from tamales during Christmas.

I’m from pruning and picking,
from the smell of lavender and pine.

I am from Slimfast and black and white coffee, strong and sweet.

I am from yellers and emotional women,
from the cactuses my mom grew.

I’m from fried chicken, potatoes and cornbread,
from Tomiko’s sushi and rice.

I am from the west and the east,
no where near the ocean.

I am from my mother, who raised me alone.
