Presentation High School

For more than 50 years, Presentation High School has empowered smart, creative, and confident young women. Presentation is a nurturing community that encourages the development of the whole person: spiritually, academically, and personally. This balanced approach helps young women develop into critical thinkers who are prepared for college and a career. In just four short years, our students become women of action driven by self-confidence, intellectual curiosity, spiritual growth, and a deep sense of community.

Presentation High School is a college preparatory school for girls whose purpose and direction flow from the Catholic Church's teaching mission and the educational ministry of the Sisters of the Presentation. Rooted in the belief that every human being is made in God's image and likeness, we commit ourselves to develop the whole person--her spiritual, emotional, aesthetic, psychological, and physical powers.

At Presentation, we believe faith is a gift from God that must be nurtured. Gospel values are best taught and lived in a community of faith. Presentation High School is committed to empowering young women to make responsible decisions and allowing them to find and develop the unique voices that will allow them to assume their full stature in today's society.

At Presentation, "Not Words, but Deeds" is not just a motto. Instead, it is a heartfelt mission statement, lived out and ingrained in our culture daily. We believe our school must be an active institution for peace and justice in the greater community.

Each student is encouraged to think critically, speak, and write clearly and apply her knowledge to 21st century problem-solving. Presentation students are taught how to think, not what to think--giving them the knowledge and confidence to discover their unique voices and points of view. That confidence, combined with a multi-faceted curriculum, instills students with the skills they need for success in college and a career.
