About the Trailblazer in Women’s Leadership Award

More than 66 years ago, the Sisters of Charity of St. Joan Antida were trailblazers in creating a place where they sought to educate and empower young women from all backgrounds. Today, St. Joan Antida High School (SJA) is Milwaukee’s premier all-girl urban high school located in the heart of downtown.

Recipients of this award are role models for our students and reflect the school’s work to educate and empower young women who lead and serve in a global society.
