CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)– Leaders at Ashley Hall, the all-girls private school in downtown Charleston, say an upcoming event at the school that partners with federal agencies had to be cancelled, due to an executive order signed by President Trump.

Each year Ashley Hall puts on “Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day”. It was scheduled for next Friday, February 21st at Ashley Hall for their students from 7th through 12th grade as a part of national engineers’ week.

The event began at Ashley Hall in 2017 to give 8th through 12th grade students a day to learn and participate in careers in the stem field.

Through the program they would build relationships with professionals, participate in community service and even have an opportunity to do internships to explore STEM career options.

“We’ve had Air Force pilots doing flight simulation with the girls, Coast Guard divers, simulation around storm surge and more understanding challenges we’ve had here in Charleston, so it’s really designed to be hands on and not only exposing them to powerful role models but to be a fun memorable experience,” said Anne Weston, the Head of School at Ashley Hall.

Ashley Hall leaders say they were recently contacted by one of the event coordinators, who told them the federal agencies could no longer participate.
