Desert Oasis High School is utilizing the Community
Comprehensive Adolescent Parenting Program (CCAPP) to bring all necessary services to one
location to better serve the needs of pregnant teens. These services include, The
County Pregnant Minor Program, Cal-Works, the Health Department Adolescent Family Life
Program, Peri-natal Adolescent Substance Abuse Program, WIC, Child Development Services,
referrals to Pioneer Health Center Teen Smart Program and the Central Union High School
Infant and Child Care Centers. This program is designed to further its pursuit of a
comprehensive community approach linking current support programs offered through various
Imperial County agencies with the educational services provided for teen parents and their
children. This partnership has been formed to support pregnant and parenting teens
in their efforts to parent their children, complete their high school education and enter
adulthood ready to be independent and economically self-sustaining. CCAPP goals are
to increase high school graduation rates of teen parents, to increase employability of
teen parents, to increase their parenting skills and father involvement, and finally to
reduce the number of subsequent pregnancies.
