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.
The Ann Richards School For Young Women Leaders dedicates itself to preparing young women to attend and graduate from college commit to a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle, lead with courage and compassion, and serve the solve problems creatively and ethically.
When I first started my middle school journey I was very biased, I was told since an early age that the Ann Richards school for young women leaders shapes young women into leaders and that was just something that I didn't believe but after spending seven years at this school my life have completely changed. I am ready for college, im involved, im a good student but most importantly I am a leader and its all because of the amazing teachers, peers and administration that I have surrounding me and I will never be able to show them the gratitude and love that I have for this school.
