Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders

In Honor of Shelly Orr Priebe

McElroy gives back this month with a donation to support the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, in honor of our President, Shelly Orr Priebe, who celebrates 20 years with our company on September 14. Shelly’s warmth, generosity, and leadership remind of us the charismatic former Governor Richards of Texas, and we could think of no better way to pay tribute to Shelly than to help other young women follow in both their footsteps.

The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders (www.annrichardsschool.org) is a unique all-girls public school founded to educate young women and give them the confidence and skills necessary to succeed in college, in their careers, and in their communities. The school’s vision is to focus on the whole girl, providing academic and enrichment opportunities that will engage the students, expand their horizons, and give them the tools to achieve their dreams. The Ann Richards School began classes on August 27, 2007, serving 115 girls in sixth and seventh grade. A new grade will be added each year with twelfth grade in 2012.
