Our Work
High school classes for teen moms, early childhood education for their little ones, and health care for both. It’s all available at the Florence Crittenton High School in west Denver.
An on-campus school-based health center (SBHC) opened at Florence Crittenton two years ago, meaning the young mothers can get regular appointments for themselves and their children. Last year, the Alethia E. Morgan, M.D. Health Center helped every child stay up to date on immunizations while decreasing school absences among the moms.

It's been only a few years since I strolled the halls of East High School, chatting with other students about various trivialities — soccer tryouts, our crushes and our weekend plans. But in every class, I remember taking standardized tests and surveys, providing my responses by filling in the entire circle as instructed, “completely and darkly with a No. 2 pencil.” As a summer intern at the Colorado Health Institute (CHI), I analyzed how Colorado’s high school students answered one of those very same surveys.
