Presentation is proud of its longtime traditions, some of which date back to the school's founding in 1962. These special events lie at the heart of our school community.

Big/Little Sister Program – At Freshman Orientation new students are placed in groups led by an upper-class student leader, a "Big Sister" who will help them adjust to high school life and serve as a support, friend and confidant during the freshman's first year at Presentation. Big and Little Sisters participate in four fun events during the school year that include crafts, lunch and holiday-themed activities.
