Nancy Bernardino, the principal of Solar Preparatory School for Girls, discusses her school’s focus on preparing girls for careers in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. Solar Prep is one of three single-gender schools the Dallas school district opened this year as part of its effort to expand schooling options for students and families.

Coverage of issues related to creating opportunities for all American students and their families to choose a quality school is supported by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation, at waltonk12.org. Education Week retains sole editorial control over the content of this coverage.
