Alpha Delta Kappa History

Alpha Delta Kappa was founded in 1947 by Agnes Shipman Robertson, Hattie Poppino, Marie Neal, and Marion Southall. These visionary women saw a need to recognize and support the professional efforts of outstanding women educators.  For more than forty years, over 125,000 women educators around the world have discovered the many opportunities provided by membership in Alpha Delta Kappa – opportunities for recognition of their commitment to educational excellence, for personal and professional growth and for collectively channeling their energies toward the good of their schools, communities, the teaching profession and the world.
