LANTERN Presentation High School Parent Newsletter | March 2018
Here at Presentation, our seniors are making important decisions about which college they will attend in the fall. As Catholic educators, we know that the value of a human being is much more than college acceptances, coursework and test scores. We are focused on educating the whole person. Presentation alumna leave these halls not just prepared to succeed in their next educational endeavors but in life itself. For more than ten years, we have interviewed seniors prior to graduation to understand their experience at Presentation.
What the Class of 2017 Says: 92% say they feel empowered and take pride in being a woman as a result of their education at Pres. 93% say they have developed study skills at Presentation that will help them in college and eventually in their careers. 94% say attending an all-female school was a positive experience for them.
Quotes and Reflections from the Class of 2017: “Being at an all-girls school where you are not limited, you can be the smartest person, best athlete, whatever you want to be. We are a community that pulls everyone up…” “In every single class—no matter what subject—Pres keeps showing us how women can contribute to the world, and how we can make a difference in the world. A great example is Global Women's Issues, where we learn about different cultures around the world. Or in English, where we discuss the women's roles in literature..” “I think that being Catholic means living a life full of love and understanding. I think it is extremely important that we recognize the human dignity of everyone and respect that everyone needs to be treated fairly and equally and we need to fight for that in society..”
