About Us
Founded in 1947 by the Sisters of the Divine Compassion, located in the Throggs Neck neighborhood of the Bronx, Preston High School is an all-girls private Catholic college preparatory school rooted in the virtues of dignity, honor, respect and compassion.
Through a broad and challenging curriculum, a diverse, faith-centered community and a commitment to Christian service, Preston High School empowers young women by providing them with the skills needed to become compassionate leaders for change in their world.
Our vision is to change the world around us through compassion.
Preston High School was established in 1947 by the Sisters of the Divine Compassion, as an independent, college-preparatory Catholic school.
The original school building, also known as "the mansion" to students & faculty, was the 19th century waterfront home of railroad magnate Collis P. Huntington.
