About Hilltop High School<br />
Hilltop is an SFUSD Pregnant Minors <strong>Program</strong> that enables pregnant and parenting teens to:<br />
progress toward completion of their secondary education; to make responsible and<br />
informed decisions; to have healthy pregnancies and healthy families; to become<br />
responsible, effective parents; and to become contributing, well-adjusted, self-sufficient<br />
members of their communities. Hilltop students receive core academic instruction toward<br />
high school graduation, special support classes in birthing, child development, and teen<br />
parenting education.<br />
<strong>RISE</strong> PROGAM AT Hilltop<br />
The <strong>RISE</strong> yoga and wellness program at Hilltop High School offers bi-weekly pre/post-natal<br />

techniques, restorative and therapeutic yoga asanas, and an in-depth study of relaxation<br />
and mindfulness exercises. A big emphasis is placed on compassionate self-care and<br />
therapeutic yoga and wellness education, so that these young women can enter<br />
motherhood with confidence and grace.<br />
