“Getting ‘paid’ for attendance and using the incentive store gave me independence and helped me provide for my child.”

Lauren

“When I first found out I was pregnant, I thought my life was over. But with Cardinal Academy, I graduated, went to college, and learned the skills I needed to be a great mom.”
