Washington University to sponsor Hawthorn Leadership School for Girls the region's first all-girls STEM charter school
Women are underrepresented in the important fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) — minority women even more so. To help close the gender gap and to prepare more students for higher education, Washington University in St. Louis will sponsor an innovative new charter school: the Hawthorn Leadership School for Girls, the first single-sex STEM charter school in St. Louis.
