IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ANN RICHARDS SCHOOL FOR YOUNG WOMEN LEADERS
Dear Friends,
Governor Ann Richards dedicated her life to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for women to fully participate in education, careers, and community.
With your help, we carry forward her legacy by empowering our students at the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders to dream big, lead with confidence, and make their mark on the world.
This year, our students thrived through STEM-based academics, leadership opportunities, and college-bound programming.
Highlights included welcoming over 100 college representatives to campus, creating innovative animal enrichment devices for the Austin Zoo, hearing from alumni on College Success Day, and participating in Junior Internship Week across Austin.
These experiences helped our Star students strengthen their skills, broaden their horizons, and build the confidence to pursue their goals.
Thanks to your generosity, the Ann Richards School Foundation continues to meet student and faculty needs.
You are shaping the bright futures of young women who will go on to lead our communities and our world.
With sincere gratitude,
Executive Director, Ann Richards School Foundation
