Helping Teen Moms Graduate,
2023 PenCraft Book Award Winner!
2024 Nautilus Book Award Winner!
is a much-needed resource for families, schools, and community organizations who support pregnant and parenting students as they strive to complete their education.
With the national public school high school graduation rate is 87% and the teen pregnancy birth rate at a historic low, it's easy to overlook this student population, but graduation progress does not ring true for pregnant and parenting students.
Currently the CDC reports that 50% of pregnant and parenting students do not earn a high school diploma and only 3% earn a college degree by age 30. Helping Teen Moms Graduate offer strategies for families, schools, and community organizations to help more pregnant and parenting students graduate.

Endorsements
"Becoming pregnant or a parent does not need to derail a student’s education. Helping Teen Moms Graduate expertly highlights the unique barriers and discrimination pregnant and parenting teens face without further stigmatizing this population. By centering their voices, Dr. Stroble provides a much-needed roadmap for advocates, teachers, and other trusted community members to help pregnant and parenting teens thrive in school."
Cassandra Mensah, Counsel at the National Women’s Law Center
"Written with a great deal of grace and insights, Helping Teen Moms Graduate provides rich narratives and helpful strategies for educators of teen mothers. This is a useful text and it should be explored without judgment, but instead, with care and openness. It helps to address a lesser explored issue in secondary education."
Greg Wiggan, Professor of Urban Education, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
"In order to help teen moms graduate, we don’t need more statistics and simplistic how-to guides or checklists; we need to listen to the voices and experiences of teen moms themselves. Dr. Stroble does an expert job of elevating the voices of teen moms woven between statistics, evidence-based programs, and real solutions to helping teen moms graduate. If you really want to know how to support a teen mom, you’ve got the right book in your hands and I suggest you start with her first suggestion: Don’t Judge."
Amanda Moon Callahan, MA, Director of Prevention & Outreach, Safe Harbor
