What do you love about Pres?
-
"Pres gives you so many opportunities to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Pres gave me my best friends for life, ones I never thought I would have. I was able to play all of the sports I love and didn’t have to choose just one. Opening yourself up to everyone around you, with different cultures, nationalities, and religions, is such an amazing way to learn little pieces about the world. That’s why I’m so lucky to be a Pres Girl!"

"I chose Pres because of the sisterhood and community. You can truly be yourself and there are so many ways to be involved. My favorite thing about Pres is the relationships that you build with all of the students. There are always familiar faces in the halls and you can build meaningful connections in all your activities."

"Academics at Pres are vast and diverse, challenging you to reach your fullest potential. I think what makes Pres stand out is the empowering and supportive atmosphere, where teachers and staff genuinely care about your success, while the sisterhood built between you and your classmates helps encourage success. The balance of rigor and encouragement has helped me grow not only academically, but personally in how I communicate, lead, and solve problems."
