The students and staff at Young Women’s Leadership Academy have a lot to celebrate. On Wednesday, the school was recognized as a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School.

The San Antonio Independent School District institution located on the west side at 2123 West Huisache Avenue, serves students in grades 6-12. And it’s not the first time the school was named a Blue Ribbon School. Just six years ago, it was recognized in part because of its remarkable 100% graduation rate.
