National Honor Society

Many honor societies have rules against having sex before marriage. An official school organization may not use pregnancy as the only way of deciding who has had sex before marriage. If a school organization does not ask all members who have had sex to leave, then it cannot keep pregnant and parenting students from participating.

The National Honor Society cannot keep pregnant and parenting students from joining NHS. A student cannot be kept out of NHS or expelled because she is pregnant or has had a baby. A student also may not be penalized because she has had or plans to have an abortion.

If you are pregnant and your school is not allowing you to participate in NHS, you can call the Jane's Due Process legal hotline at 1-866-www-jane or 1-866-999-5263 for assistance.
