Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy
Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy (CSKYWLA) was founded July 2010. The school's founding principal, Ms. Melody Morgan, set a solid foundation for the academy, with the intent to provide widespread opportunities to each and every girl that enrolled. In the summer of 2016, the torch was passed to our current principal, Ms. Eulonda Washington. Since that time and under her leadership, the faculty has reaffirmed the vision and developed additional academic expectation, support mechanisms, rituals and traditions that cater to the complex, academic and psychological needs of young women.
Our mission is to develop globally competitive leaders by providing a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum. At the academy we say, "CSKYWLA", which means to be empowered by love, nonviolent social change, and scholarship.
CSKYWLA has initiatives geared towards alleviating the effects of a food desert: Farm-to-Table Parent Initiative, Honey Bee Learning Center, CSK Edible Garden, Fall/Spring Garden Reboot Day, Quail Farm, Composting Program, The Chicken Project, and many more.
The initiatives aim for a school-wide STEM culture.
