About the Academy

"Leadership Academy has helped me develop my leadership skills in a way that allows me to be open to new opportunities. I know that many of these skills will help me in the future, especially as I go off to college. Leadership Academy helps me learn to present myself not only as a leader in school but in everyday life." - Marielle Kris Verano '10

Presentation High School's Leadership Academy prepares students for leadership positions at school and in the community. The workshops, designed and presented by Presentation faculty and staff, teach core leadership skills such as goal-setting, mission development, project management, verbal and non-verbal communication and team-building.

The Leadership Academy, which is open to all students, offers 10 workshops plus various types of leadership positions and opportunities for project design and implementation. The ultimate achievement lies in completing a Capstone Project, in which a student plans, organizes and implements a major project on campus or in the community. Supported by an advisor throughout the planning of the Capstone Project, the student learns the practical aspects of leadership in addition to problem-solving.
