The Teen Parent Program (TPP) is a voluntary program offered
by The School District of Palm Beach County to provide education,
childcare and access to health and social services for pregnant and
parenting teens. Students who are pregnant, as well as teen mothers
and fathers, are supported in becoming responsible parents and
completing requirements for graduation. While in the program,
students receive support services such as child care, health care,
social services, parenting education and transportation.
Participants in TPP must enroll and complete one Parenting Skills
course while continuing to earn credits toward a standard or special
diploma. Palm Beach Virtual High School also offer the Parenting
Skills course. Students who have completed the parenting course
continue to receive support services while enrolled in their high
school diploma program.

and received direct ongoing TPP services and support. The 80 students served included 6 middle school
students and 74 high school students. In addition, The School District of Palm Beach County and the Early
