Schools Celebrate Women's History Month Amidst Shifting Educational Landscape

Despite a changing political climate and federal scrutiny of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, schools across the U.S. continue to celebrate Women's History Month. In 2025, schools like the Young Women's Leadership School of Astoria in New York, organized events such as spirit weeks, wellness workshops in partnership with Girls Inc., and a virtual college fair for women's colleges. These initiatives aimed to empower young women and emphasize the importance of voting. Warren Easton Charter High School in Louisiana adopted a schoolwide approach, focusing on diverse voices and taking students to the National WWII Museum to learn about the Six Triple Eight, a group of Black servicewomen. Educators acknowledge students are aware of federal-level impacts on education, but these celebrations proceed as usual, reinforcing the importance of honoring diversity.
