 Ann
Rubenstein Tisch - The Founder and President
A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Ms. Rubenstein began a
19-year career in broadcast journalism at WIBW-TV in Topeka,
Kansas. She then moved to WCCO-TV in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and later joined NBC Network News as a National Correspondent.
At NBC, Ms. Rubenstein worked on several magazine shows covering
political, medical, and human-interest stories. She also served
as a substitute anchor on the “Today Show” and
“NBC at Sunrise.”
As a National Correspondent, Ms. Rubenstein developed a strong
interest in educational issues. After covering dozens of education
stories for the network, as well as reading and studying data
on single-gender education, she conceived the idea of an all-girls
public school. In 1996, with the help of the Center for Educational
Innovation and the unanimous approval of the New York City
Board of Education, Ms. Tisch turned her idea into a reality.
Ms. Tisch serves as a Trustee on the Board of Washington
University, her alma mater. She also serves on the Dean’s
Council of The New York University Tisch School for the Arts and the Advisory Board of the
Center for Educational Innovation. She is currently consulting
with school districts and parents' groups across the country
about creating schools similar to The Young Women’s
Leadership School. Link to articles
