The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders really lives up to its mission statement. Having the chance to attend the school for up to 6 years, the students really create a strong relationship with staff and faculty! From 6th to 11th grade, girls are required to take field trips to colleges where they're able to feel what it's like being on a college campus. In 11th grade, girls get the experience of having the ability to be an intern at a company based on the pathway they chose in 9th grade : engineering, media-tech, or bio-med. Such an amazing school, and great for preparing for college.
Ann Richards provides strong support and emphasizes high school and college graduation. The school allows students to feel challenged as well as supported and cared about by the administration and facility across campus. The school is small, providing a strong sisterhood between peers. The school is challenging, with a heavy workload, but it is to prepare individuals for the real world and college.
Well firstly, although it may be an unpopular opinion, I personally really liked how small it is because that just made all of us so much closer. Kind of like a small family that we could depend on in our rough times. It was nice since we've honestly have all seen each other cry whether it be because of stress, tears of joy, things going on at home, or even tears of fear because of the lady bug infestation we had in one of the restrooms a couple years back. Additionally, I really appreciate the effort some teachers provide when it comes to trying to make the classroom atmosphere comfortable and also wanting to offer any needed support when we're having issues. Lastly, the most important factor that drew me to this school in the first place is the college readiness program they offer. The school goes to the extent of setting up college field trips, having a college center, and just overall having a 100% college acceptance rate. As a first generation student, I really liked this.
