Pro-Parent Campus Pledge

We are committed to promoting policies and practices that meaningfully assist parenting students in continuing their education while caring for their families.

We believe that all pregnant and parenting students should be encouraged in their personal, educational, and career goals.

Together, we can and will create a supportive school community where all students can succeed.
