Congratulations to our Eagle Warriors!
The Young Women’s Power Lunch was an inspirational event with local female leaders, including judges, elected officials, attorneys, and education and community leaders. This event provided an opportunity for our students to learn from local women leaders about their journeys, their challenges, and their successes with the goal of inspiring our future young leaders to make positive choices and achieve their dreams. A special thank you to Honorable Julia Alloggiamento, Judge of the Superior Court, Ms. Kiara and Mrs. Deserie for making this virtual event possible for our students.
