The Girls Academic Leadership Academy (GALA) is the first all-girls public school within Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). GALA opened in August with 100 girls in 6th grade, 60 in 9th grade, and

will grow by two grade levels per year to be full 6th through 12th grade in 2020. GALA families are geographically (girls come from 51 schools in 49 zip codes), economically (58% free and reduced lunch)

and racially (5 % Asian, 28% African-American, 25% Caucasian, 38% Latino, 4 % other) diverse, and committed to a highly rigorous, college prep curriculum. The curricular focus is science, technology,

engineering, and math with a special emphasis on engineering and computer science. Girls complete A-G requirements but also work on social emotional skills through an advisory system. Advisors work with Careergirls.org, an interactive website with videos of women in non-traditional careers covering

specific topics, such as this month’s unit on integrity. Girls also work with technology and on hands-on kinesthetic learning. Our mission is to have girls develop the skills and resiliency to graduate on time,

attend highly selective colleges, and become the next generation of leaders in the STEM field.
