Tennessee's First All-Girls Charter School Opens

Back to school time came a bit earlier than usual for the 75 students who comprise the inaugural student body of The Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy.

According to a July 27 article on the website of The Chattanoogan, Tennessee's first all-girls charter school officially opened its doors July 27:
The year-round and tuition-free public charter school offers a college preparatory curriculum focused on science, technology, engineering, and math. In addition to academics, CGLA will focus on building girls confidence and self esteem.
"[July 27] is a great day for not only Tennessee and the Chattanooga community, but also for the founders of the Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy," Melanie Northcutt, the academy's board chair said on the school's first day.
