SPRINGFIELD Natasha Valentin made the difficult decision to drop out of high school in 2019 to take care of her son. The pressures of being a new mother and keeping up with course work were too much.
“Before COVID I was a drop out. I didn’t really have day care so it was hard to come to school in person,” said Valentin, who is now 22 and will be graduating from high school this June thanks to Phoenix Charter School’s Remote+ program.
