As a school whose mission it is to educate young women to become compassionate leaders and confident thinkers, we celebrate the fact that today further paves paths for women to hold positions of power that will effect positive change in the world. This is #WhatsPossible.

Today is a truly historic day, as we celebrate the victory of @KamalaHarris, the FIRST woman Vice President-elect, the FIRST Black Vice President-elect, and the FIRST South Asian Vice President-elect (who also happens to be a Bay Area native).

Students picked issues and created position statements on buttons in history class. Student voice and choice, with lots of good discussion about how to make a clear point with few words. #makered

At morning break on Friday, students walked out of school, circling campus chanting “What do we want? Climate action! When do we want it? Now!” and “Science not Sci-lence.” #ClimateStrike #ClimateAction #YouthClimateStrike @paloaltoweekly

When @cam_kerry's comparative analysis of #privacy bills includes Castilleja students' privacy bills written with @natashanyt during @Casti_ACE Global Week, it's living proof that #women's #leadership development is critical. Brava to our students!
1/@cam_kerry recently published a comparative analysis of privacy bills from @RonWyden @RepDelbene @SenBrianSchatz.
He also included a privacy bill written by the 12th graders in my "Tech For Good" workshop at Castilleja School in Palo Alto.
