How does membership work?

Membership runs from July 1 to June 30.
Membership is by school.
- Public, private, parochial, and charter schools are eligible to join!
Your membership includes both PASC state and regional membership.
If a school belongs, so does any Student Council (or, Student Government/Student Senate/SGA), Class Council, Interclub Council, and NASSP affiliated Honor Society at the school, as well as any student member and adult advisor of those organizations.
- Honor Society Chapters must be affiliated with NASSP's NHS or NJHS in order to be recognized by PASC. If you are a new advisor for National Honor Society or National Junior Honor Society, please make sure you have affiliated and are in good standing with the national office. An important component of this is ensuring your chapter is following national policies, as detailed on our advisor resource page.
- Student Councils do not need to belong to NASC to join PASC, but are encouraged to consider joining NASC.
