Since 2000, Morning Star Rising has served over 750 girls through after-school meetings at Fulmore Middle School and at The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, as well as through career panels, field trips, summer book and film clubs, school-wide forums, and since 2007 through the STARS course required for all students at The Ann Richards School.

            Now with the publication of Star Track: A Guide for Stellar Girls, the concepts and engaging activities, suitable for classroom use as well as in after-school settings, are beginning to spread to many other campuses nationwide.

            Representing a wide variety of ethnicities, national origins, and religious affiliations among the Morning Star Rising participants, the girls are united by an eagerness to explore and to learn, and to create personally-imagined futures.

      Several program alumnae have now served as program assistants or summer interns.
