Young L.A.D.I.E.S. of Excellence is our youth Section which officially formed in October of 2014 under the leadership of Mrs. Jessica Reed.

Their mission is to develop girls ages 12 - 18, who are in the sixth through twelfth grades, into healthy, confident young women and assure that they will grow up to be positive contributing members of society by involving them in various community, cultural, educational, social, and spiritual opportunities and experiences.

Their Pledge: "The Heights by great ladies reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight; but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward through the night." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
