Schedule a free appointment or call (830) 876-9726 to confirm your pregnancy and talk through what comes next.
Federal Law Protects Your Place in School
Title IX applies to any school that receives federal funding, which includes virtually every public high school in Texas. Under Title IX, your school cannot remove you from classes or activities because you are pregnant. It cannot treat pregnancy-related absences differently from other medical absences, and you are entitled to reasonable accommodations to stay on track academically.
If you run into pushback from a teacher, coach, or administrator, your school’s Title IX coordinator is the right person to contact. Every school that receives federal funding is required to have one.
Confirm Your Pregnancy First
Before making any decisions, you need to know the specifics of your pregnancy. A free, lab-quality pregnancy test at Anderson House can confirm whether you are pregnant. From there, Anderson House provides free ultrasound referrals so you can find out how far along you are and whether the pregnancy is progressing normally. That information affects your timeline for school accommodations, prenatal care, and any other decisions ahead.
Support for Parenting While in School
If you are thinking about parenting, Anderson House provides free material support, including diapers and other baby essentials, parenting classes covering pregnancy, child development, and parenting skills, and client advocates who can connect you with community resources for your specific situation. Finishing school while raising a child is demanding. It is also something young women do, and practical support makes a real difference.
