Accreditation & Excellence
Preston High School is proudly accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. This accreditation affirms our commitment to academic excellence, student support, and mission‑driven education. It reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, and administration to providing a nurturing environment where young women thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
In their most recent evaluation report, the Visiting Team for Accreditation highlighted several hallmarks of Preston High School:
- The professionalism, willingness to go “above and beyond,” and the joy exhibited by the administration, faculty, and staff are inspiring and the driving force behind PHS’s continued excellence and success.
- The practice of compassion is a core value that permeates the Preston community, enlivened by our commitment to service and leadership.
- Students love their teachers, guidance counselors, and administrators, considering Preston High School their “home” and its community as “family.”
- The academic program is rigorous, yet students succeed because of the individual care, concern, and support they receive at PHS.
- The Visiting Team observed a mission‑driven, well‑run school that serves the needs of its diverse student body. Students are happy to be here in a safe, nurturing environment where they can focus on being their best selves each day.
This recognition underscores what our alumnae have long expressed: Preston prepared them not only for the academic demands of college but also for leadership in their careers and communities. From doctors and lawyers to educators, entrepreneurs, and public servants, Preston graduates continue to embody the values of dignity, honor, respect, and compassion in their professional and personal lives.
