Azaleas are in bloom in Mobile, AL, and soon in Glenside, PA—not the flowers, but phenomenal high school seniors.

Since 1929, the Azalea Trail Maids have been a treasure in their hometown of Mobile, Alabama. Known for their iconic dresses, the Trail Maids comprise an exceptional group of young women recognized for their volunteerism, leadership, and high academic performance. They serve as role models within their community and are the official Goodwill Ambassador for Mobile.

During their senior year of high school, these trailblazers participate in over 400 community events for the Trail Maids, in addition to keeping up with soccer games, honors societies, and other extracurricular activities. You'll find them at each event wearing layered pastel dresses that look like azaleas in bloom.

We are honored to be having the Azalea Trail Maids grace us with their presence at the 123rd Glenside 4th of July Parade! Keep up the great work, ladies, and congratulations on your high school graduation!
