Our Mission

Presentation High School is a college-preparatory secondary school for girls whose purpose and direction flow from the teaching mission of the Catholic Church and the educational ministry of the Sisters of the Presentation.

T his school strives to infuse the entire educational experience with the vision of life found in the Gospels. Each student is challenged to become a woman of faith, dedicated to working with others, intellectually competent and committed to her personal growth.

Presentation works in partnership with the family, which is the primary educator. Presentation assumes responsibility for using its unique resources to bring about its stated purposes.

Presentation recognizes the following principles as the foundation upon which all our goals, outcomes, programs and procedures are developed and evaluated.

  • Rooted in the belief that every human being is made in the image and likeness of God, we commit ourselves to developing the whole person – her spiritual, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, psychological and physical powers.
  • Faith is a gift from God which must be nurtured.
  • That Gospel values are best taught and lived in a community of faith.
  • The role of education is to empower young women to make responsible decisions, embrace their responsibility to work for peace and justice and to assume their full stature in today's society.
  • That the school must be an active institution in the greater community whose students and faculty embody the motto, "Not Words but Deeds."
