We develop leadership, foster community and sisterhood.
Beyond the classroom, we want Ann Richards School students to become lifelong leaders. That’s why we encourage our girls to participate in everything from sports and fine arts to afterschool programs and leadership groups. We know these activities develop well-rounded leaders and foster a sense of community and camaraderie.
