Plot Synopsis

HIGH SCHOOL MOMS follows students at Denver's Florence Crittenton High School, where only teen mothers and moms-to-be are allowed to attend, as they balance schoolwork, sonograms, diapers and dreams of a bright future. Staffed with a devoted faculty, nursing facilities and on-site daycare center, Florence Crittenton High School offers these teen moms every opportunity to continue their education while tackling the responsibilities of caring for a baby or preparing for motherhood. Even with this strong support system in place, everyday challenges arise, forcing some of these teen parents to question if their high school diploma is even worth it. With bills to pay, some absent fathers and wailing infants, passing an algebra class can feel like the least of their problems, forcing these teen moms and moms-to-be to find the strength within themselves to continue their education while balancing it all. From struggling with the decision to drop out because the daycare bills are past due to getting ready for the school's first prom, HIGH SCHOOL MOMS gives an unfiltered look at what it's like to be a teen mother in high school. Discovery Fit & Health airs encore presentations of each episode, four days after it airs on TLC for the first time.
