The Founders Circle

125 years ago, a small circle of women led the way. They accomplished something truly extraordinary.

They created an exceptional college-preparatory school for girls in Baltimore.

You, too, can do something extraordinary and continue the vision of our founders by making a leadership gift to the Annual Fund.
