Hazelwood East has formed an after school club for girls called Women of Empowerment  (WOE).  The objectives of the club are to promote personal growth, development and self-esteem through cultural, social, educational activities as well as community service.

An upcoming activity for WOE is the Technology Empowerment Day at the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL).  This mini-conference will include topics such as: Cyber Bullying; Cyber Safety; Digital Storytelling Project; Having Fun with Wii.  WOE members will participate in a mentorship project with seventh and eighth- graders from Hazelwood Middle.

Roshelyn McCoy, a counselor at Hazelwood East said, “WOE will give a selected    group of freshmen young ladies the opportunity to be fortified and enhanced in the foundations of their high school career, thus allowing them to become role -model students for those to come.”  The young ladies and staff are looking forward to these activities and other upcoming events.
