SHAKER HEIGHTS – A private school near Cleveland has become the first U.S. all-girls school to launch a varsity esports program.
The team at Hathaway Brown is coached by J Collins, a former U.S. Department of Education employee who has concerns about patterns of inequity in the budding collegiate esports scene.
Collins hopes to set an example for how high schools can attract more girl and gender minority gamers so those players can take advantage of scholarship opportunities.
