For 75 girls, Wednesday marked the entrance into a sisterhood still in its infancy.
The Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy, one of two public charter schools in Hamilton County, celebrated the end of its first year by dubbing each of its students “Sister Scholars.”
The school’s executive director, Anita Bordeaux, said the ceremony was meant to unite the girls through the common goal of education.
“I know this has been a long year with great triumphs and challenges,” she told the audience, filled with parents and siblings of the students. “Life is a journey, CGLA is a journey and we still have so much to do.”
