Our Commitment to Diversity
As an all-girls Catholic high school founded on the principles and values of foundress, Nano Nagle and the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
-
We believe that all persons have inherent dignity and are made in the image and likeness of God.
-
We are committed to an inclusive community which promotes respect, loving dialogue, equity, empathy, humility, courage, understanding, and societal awareness, both locally and globally.
-
We believe that diversity is a blessing that refers to the myriad of personal experiences, values, perspectives, talents, and worldviews that arise from differences in culture and circumstance.
-
We are committed to creating a diverse learning environment where each student may reflect on their own identity, experiences, talents, and abilities to lead and serve others in a way that is rooted in radical faith, compassion, justice and love.
All members of the Presentation community are responsible for advancing an understanding of and a respect for diversity as it includes, but is not limited to: ability, age, belief, ethnicity, family structure, gender, gender identity, learning style, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.
Family Partnership
Presentation works in partnership with the family, which is the primary educator. As partners in faith, Presentation works with the family in the spiritual and intellectual development of its students.
What We Believe
- Every human being is made in the image and likeness of God.
- Faith is a gift from God that must be nurtured.
- The role of education is to empower young women.
- Students and faculty must embody the motto "Not Words, But Deeds."
