DearPresentationCommunity,

It is with a grateful heart we extend our thanks for the generosity of our community.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we are excited about the momentum we feel both today and looking into the future of Pres. Our community’s energy is reflected throughout our digital 2021-2022 Impact Report, which minimizes our environmental footprint while celebrating your partnership and investment in our Catholic, all-girls mission.

Presentation provides a transformational educational experience where young women are empowered to become fearless and faithful leaders committed to serving others, and we remain committed to ensuring that every qualified student who wants to attend Pres is able to do so regardless of her family’s financial means.

We were so grateful for the outpouring of support last year and are proud to build on that momentum to improve the Pres experience for our deserving students each day thanks to your partnership.

With Gratitude, Holly Elkins, President

Dear Presentation Community,

As an all-girls Catholic school sponsored by the Sisters of the Presentation, we are called to reflect the vision of Nano Nagle in a modern way—to empower young women with an outstanding faith-based education and to serve the poor and the marginalized in our society. I am deeply grateful for my fellow Directors who generously volunteer their time and expertise to ensure the Pres mission continues to thrive both today and for decades to come. This year, we could not be more proud of our President’s and Principal’s strong leadership and partnership. Holly and Kristina care deeply about our students, and along with our leadership team and faculty and staff, work tirelessly to ensure that our students have a positive, transformational and joyful high school experience. Our community’s support makes this all possible, and we are so grateful for your personal investment in our students. We simply could not do it without you, and express our deepest thanks!

Warmly, Dave Anderson Board Chair

Presentation High School gave me a solid foundation for going to college as well as excelling in my career. I choose to donate because I want other young women to experience the exact same thing I did. I think it’s important for girls to have a solid foundation and to have that sense of community and support behind them.
