Presentation High School is a private, Catholic, college preparatory school for girls established in 1962. It is owned and run by the Sisters of the Presentation, and operates within the Diocese of San Jose in California. The school is located in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, California.
The school's mission is driven by the teachings of Nano Nagle, the foundress of the Sisters of the Presentation, who lived in the 18th century and dedicated her life to working with the poor. The school's motto is "Not words, but deeds", which promotes service and action among the students. The school colors are blue and gold, and the school mascot is the Panther.
Uniform
The Presentation uniform consists of a blue and white plaid skirt, the white polo (during formal days), and any gray, royal blue, or white shirt (on non-formal days).
Extracurriculars
Presentation High School offers a variety of extracurriculars, the most notable ones being theater and dance. The school has an award-winning dance team, as well as a well-known theater program that produces a sold-out musical each November.
