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."
