Girls Academic Leadership Academy

http:// GALA CLASS OF 2021 // We are bursting with pride to announce that GALA senior, Gabriela has a full ride to SCI-ARC, the Southern California Institute of Architecture. Last year, seeing gender gap with women and, specifically, women of color licensed architects, GALA principal, Dr. Hicks, had the vision to create a GALA architecture program. Our incredible architecture teacher, Ms. Thomas, led the way in sparking interest for our students to pursue architecture after High S...chool. This year, we are so proud of Gabriela, who will be pursuing a degree in architecture. "SCI-Arc is a world-renowned center of innovation and one of the nation's few independent architecture schools, offering undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs. We are dedicated to educating architects who will imagine and shape the future." We are so proud of you, Gabby on your incredible achievements! #girlslovearchitecture #womeninarchitecture #design #engineering #GALAClassof2021 #GALApride #allgirlspublicschool #girlsinSTEM #goGALA #GALAgirl #GALAcademy #GALA #girlsacademicleadershipacademy See more

We are excited to announce our first Ivy League acceptances and are still counting the millions of dollars in full-ride offers and incredible scholarships and financial aid packages.
