The Ysleta Young Women’s Leadership Academy (YWLA) is the first all-girls, college preparatory public school in West Texas. At YWLA, we are on a mission to give underserved young women the academic and leadership skills they need to achieve success in college and in life.

Through a partnership with the Young Women’s Preparatory Network, students receive a strong foundation of STEAM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) and a focus on the core values of responsible leadership, college and career readiness, and wellness life skills. Our goal is for all YWLA scholars to attend and graduate from college.

We aim to prepare YWLA young women for a life of leadership, confidence, contribution and to be agents of transformation in their own lives and beyond. Our mascot is the Transformer, and we are committed to transforming the lives of young female leaders, our community and the way people think about education.
