Hawthorn Leadership School for Girls
Hawthorn Leadership School for Girls was a public all girls' charter middle and high school in Saint Louis, Missouri. It was chartered by Washington University in St. Louis and has a focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).[1] It is Missouri's first public girls' school.[2]
Mary Stillman, one of the daughters of John Danforth and an alumna of all girls' schools, had conceptualized Hawthorn.[1]
In August 2015 it opened 130 students in grades 6 and 7.[2] A new grade will be added each year until it gets grade 12.[1] The school shut its doors in August 2023, citing declining enrollment.
