May/2015

We can hardly believe that another school year has already ended. Our girls have grown so much during the past 10 months and we have enjoyed watching them make new friends, gain more confidence, and learn to love being a girl! We are also very proud of our graduating seniors. See more information below about our outstanding scholarship recipients! As we say goodbye to another school year, we also look forward to a great summer that is packed-full of fun activities for central Alabama girls. Don't forget to register your daughter or a girl you know in one of our many summer programs!
