The Austin Independent School District

In an environment of sisterhood, the Sadler Means Young Women's Leadership Academy promotes scholarship, leadership and community service to help ensure students succeed in high school, college, career and life.

The all-girls academy in East Austin offers a world of opportunities—from arts and athletics to science and engineering—to help students achieve their greatest potential.

Sadler Means invests in the whole child, nurturing scholars’ creative minds and talents through robust fine arts programs, including art, band, choir, dance, orchestra and theatre.

The academy offers career and technology classes through Project Lead the Way, a national leader in science, technology, engineering and math programs. With a rigorous curriculum and higher education and industry partnerships, students develop the skills needed to succeed in the global economy.

Community support is key to the students’ success. To foster sisterhood and strengthen bonds among the scholars, Sadler Means offers three houses that represent some of the academy’s core values: Integritas (integrity), Collegium (sisterhood) and Salubritas (wellness). The school also connects each student with champions on campus and mentors through Communities in Schools.

Sadler Means is part of the LBJ and Northeast families of schools. As early college high schools, LBJ and Northeast offer students the opportunity to earn college credit and graduate with a diploma in one hand and an associate’s degree from Austin Community College in the other.
