I think I had one of the most great high school experiences a person can have. There were so many clubs I wish I could have joined, I made great friends and wonderful teachers.

College preparatory school that needs more progress on various issues. Need to focus on addressing racial issues and creating a safe environment for all students.

Preston High School is a very competitive school with knowledgeable teachers that care about their students (even from afar in distance learning). While constantly striving to be better, Preston holds true to their beliefs as a Catholic institution.
