PHILOSOPHY
We at Presentation National High School, are all learners; whether youths, adults, parents or teachers, brought together by a common desire for a communal goal, that of learning and working to exchange ideas, experiences, knowledge and skills and learning to work with one another. In a communal endeavour, people learn to share responsibilities.
We believe that knowledge empowers them.
In all these, we affirm our belief in the model of Jesus Christ as Teacher and the “Giver of all good gifts and the Light of the World”. With this inspiration and faith, we believe in the possibility of growth for every individual participant involved in the school.
Presentation National High School is an institution which is under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Benin City. It was founded by Reverend (Dr.) Patrick E. Ekpu, the Archbishop of Benin City, on November 21, 1989. Our goal is to create an atmosphere for learning and sharing, where unconditional love can be expressed, irrespective of all diversity.
