This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Ann Rubenstein Tisch, born in Kansas City, Missouri, is an American educator and former broadcast journalist. She is widely recognized for founding The Young Women's Leadership School (TYWLS) of East Harlem in 1996, the first public all-girls school to open in the United States in three decades. Tisch's initiative sought to provide high-quality college preparatory education to young women from underserved communities, addressing disparities in educational opportunities.

Early Life and Education

Tisch pursued her undergraduate education at Washington University in St. Louis, where she graduated summa cum laude with degrees in psychology and sociology.¹ Her academic achievements provided a foundation for her future roles in journalism and education reform.

Career in Journalism

Before transitioning to education, Tisch had a successful 19-year career in broadcast journalism. She began her career at WIBW-TV in Topeka, Kansas, and later joined WCOO-TV in Minneapolis, Minnesota.¹ Tisch then moved to NBC Network News as a national correspondent, reporting on education and social issues. Her exposure to the challenges faced by students in under-resourced schools inspired her to create an innovative educational model.²

Founding The Young Women's Leadership School

In 1996, Tisch founded TYWLS of East Harlem with unanimous approval from the New York City Board of Education. The school aimed to replicate the quality of elite private institutions while serving young women from disadvantaged families.³ TYWLS emphasized rigorous academics, social-emotional development, and college preparation, setting a new standard for public education in underserved communities.

Impact and Expansion

The success of TYWLS of East Harlem spurred the establishment of additional schools and initiatives under the Student Leadership Network (SLN), previously known as the Young Women's Leadership Network. SLN expanded the TYWLS model across New York City and inspired affiliate schools in states like Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, and Texas.¹³

Additionally, SLN launched the CollegeBound Initiative (CBI), a co-educational program designed to increase college enrollment rates among students in high-need schools. The initiative has helped thousands of students, many of whom are first-generation college attendees, achieve their academic goals.

Current Work and Recognition

Tisch is an active trustee of Washington University in St. Louis and serves on the Dean's Council at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.¹ She continues to consult with educational organizations and school districts nationwide, promoting the development of single-sex public schools modeled after TYWLS.²

Legacy

Ann Rubenstein Tisch's work has redefined the educational landscape for young women in underserved areas. Her efforts to address inequities in public education have empowered countless students to pursue higher education and leadership roles.³ The TYWLS model remains in use, adapting to the evolving needs of students, and continues to inspire similar initiatives across the country.
