History
Preston High School was founded in 1947 and was originally housed in the
Ash-Havemeyer-Huntington mansion. The facilities were expanded in 1960 to
accommodate its growing population and diversified offerings, and improvements
and additions are continually made to insure that PHS offers an innovative learning
environment. Nestled on the banks of the East River between the Whitestone
Bridge and the Throgs Neck Bridge in the Bronx, New York, the original structure
anchors the school grounds and provides a beautiful reminder of PHS’s history.

Message from the Principal
Message from the President of
the Board of Trustees
It is a pleasure to present you with
Preston High School’s Fiscal Year 2009
– 2010 Annual Report. This publication is
an opportunity to recognize members of
PHS community who donate their gifts
of time, talent, and dollars, to the school
each year. It is with the generous support
of our Partners in Mission that our
mission to empower young women is
advanced.
In presenting the Fiscal Year 2009 –
2010 Annual Report of Preston High
School, I want to first thank our alumnae,
friends, families and benefactors for
their faithful support. As a result of
the continued support from the PHS
community, I am happy to report
that PHS remains a financially and
academically strong institution with a
bright future.
The ongoing development of our students in their
intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth is a testament
not only to their effort and determination, but also to the
dedication of their families and teachers. We’re proud that
our girls continue to gain acceptance to prestigious colleges
and to earn significant scholarship awards. They continue
to impress us with their breadth of interests as evidenced
by the many diverse after-school activities in which they
participate. And once again we are deeply touched by
the many different ways they demonstrate their deep
compassion through service to others.
Looking back on PHS’s accomplishments during the
past year, I am struck by the fact that they exemplify the
commitment to our mission to empower young women
through a broad and challenging education, active
participation in community and a commitment to Christian
service. PHS students continue to achieve numerous
academic and community service accomplishments and go
on to attend some of the most prestigious colleges in the
country; our recruitment efforts draw hundreds of hopeful
students to apply to PHS; and we look forward to the
science laboratory renovation during the summer of 2011.
Thanks to the generous support of our benefactors, we
continue to strengthen our academic program the better
to prepare our students for the challenges of college and
career in the 21st century. We have invested in significant
improvements to our aging physical plant, culminating in
the creation of a suite of modernized and technologically
advanced science labs, work on which should be completed
this summer. Again, thanks to our benefactors we have
increased the amount of financial aid we are able to offer
our families adversely affected by the prolonged economic
downturn.
The Board of Trustees was proud to welcome three new
members this year. They include: Elizabeth Anne Asaro ’68,
Chairperson of the Social Studies Department at Alexander
Hamilton High School; Andrea Donkor, ESQ, ’99, General
Council Office, Compliance & Ethics, Manager, American
Express; and Mary Hussey Piscina ’80, Community
Outreach Volunteer and former Special Education Teacher.
We remain committed to providing an education rooted
in Catholic values that provide a strong moral compass in
this ever-changing world. We’re excited by the positive
changes that your support has enabled and by the
passionate enthusiasm with which PHS students face their
future. We remain determined to meet the challenges of our
current economic climate with creativity and resolve. And
we’re very thankful that you are willing to work with us in
partnership for the benefit of the PHS community.
As we look forward to the future stewardship of PHS
you should know that it will be focused on meeting the
challenges of our struggling economy with flexibility and
creativity. As our families make sacrifices to pay tuition we
thank you for your generous support and your contributions
to future appeals.
We are thankful for your continued support without
which PHS would not be able to be such a valued leader in
Catholic education in the Bronx.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Michael J. Daly

2009-2010 at a Glance
PHS Community Mourns Loss of Dr. Morton
The Preston High School community is deeply
saddened by the passing of our esteemed
colleague and beloved friend, Peg F. Morton, D.
Min., who passed away suddenly at her home
on July 31, 2010. More than 1,000 visitors came
to pay their respects at her wake.
Dr. Morton taught Religion at PHS for more
than two decades. The response to her passing
by the PHS community, as well as that of the
Bronx community and beyond, was a testament
to her life. Dr. Morton opened the minds of
thousands of students, offered inspirational
Peg F. Morton, D. Min.
theological reflections, led the community in
song and was a true supporter of the mission of
compassion.
The Preston Scholars Program
The Preston Scholars Program, or
PSP, was introduced in the 2009-2010
academic year and now includes 26
sophomores and juniors. The program
was designed to enable and encourage
highly motivated students to take
advantage of the several Advanced
Placement courses offered and to
complete challenging, self-designed
Christian Service projects.
On September 18, 2010 the United
Nations Department of Public Information
PSP participants with director, Jennifer
held the twelfth student observance of
Connolly (top left), at International Day of
the International Day of Peace under
Peace Student Observance
the theme “Disarm Now for a Better
World.” More than 1,000 students and
teachers traveled to United Nations Headquarters, where they were addressed by
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and General Assembly President
Ali Abdussalam Treki. PHS joined in this day of peace as 13 young women, all
sophomores and participants in the Preston Scholars Program, made the trip into
Manhattan with their program director and PHS History teacher, Jennifer Connolly.
Relaunch of PHS Website
In the spring of 2010 there was an
extensive redesign of the PHS website.
Jane Grendell, Principal, spearheaded the
project and noted the improvements to the
online site have many benefits.
Now visitors to the PHS website (www.
prestonhs.org) will find welcoming visuals
and updated content about alumnae
activities, student life, academics, and
admissions. In addition, online visitors are
able to access a calendar of school wide
events, link to teacher websites, make
a secure gift online, and join our PHS
Facebook community.

a workshop on “The Sweet Science
of Chocolate & Rain Forest Walkway,”
followed by a presentation that gave
students a sense of the vast array of
career opportunities available in the
Sciences, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM). The Day
concludes with an informal “meet and
greet” in the school library to which
students from Grades 9-12 with a

been the development of new choirs
and events focusing on the musical
talents of our students. The National
Association for Music Education has
officially designated March as “Music
in Our Schools Month.” In celebration
of the occasion, Joanna Fusco, PHS

instruments were used during the
celebration. The evening culminated
in a variety of performances from
student-choreographed dance
routines, singing duets and trios to

Religious Studies
PHS Student Named Sprint
Youth Community Champion
All students are enrolled in Religion courses. Activities coordinated with religious
studies include communal prayer, liturgies, celebrations of major Church
feasts, retreats for all classes, and Christian service. The service program is
an opportunity to apply the teachings of the Gospel and the Church to real-life
situations. Service projects include service to their families at home for Freshmen,
service at school for Sophomores, and service in church or civic communities for
Juniors, and service as an extension of their co-curricular activities for Seniors.
As part of the total school program, these activities require the participation of all
students and the cooperation of parents.
Emmaus Retreat Program
Beginning in the early 1970’s, Emmaus is a Catholic retreat program that is open to
PHS Juniors and Seniors of all faiths. It provides its participants the opportunity to
reconnect with what matters and share their faith journeys in a loving community.
Under the guidance of our Campus Minister and experienced faculty members,
students spend two days and two nights at the Retreat Center on the RDC’s Good
Counsel campus in White Plains. Each retreat
is all about discovery. Students realize how God
is truly active in their lives, how special and
unique each student is to others, and how those
around them need their unique talents and gifts.
Through the Emmaus experience, participants
build valuable relationships through friendship,
encouragement, prayer and their personal
connection to God. To date, over 300 alumnae
have been a part of Emmaus.

The PHS Parent Association plays a vital role at PHS, serving as a forum for
parents, a catalyst for social gatherings, and a fundraising arm of the school.
Attendance at PA meetings and support
of sponsored events, presence at parent
meetings conducted by the administration,
ongoing communication with teachers and
administrators, support of the school in
pursuit of its mission, and enforcement of its
policies and regulations are some ways that
collaboration is mutually effective. We are
extremely grateful to all of our parents for
supporting the PA.

“There are not enough words for
me to describe my experience
at Preston High School. My
wish is that all girls could have
this experience. My daughter
is a name, not a number. She
attends school in a safe and
beautiful environnent which
provides academic excellence
and a program that promotes
vision, voice and values. I am
certain that when she graduates
next year that she is fully
prepared academically, and
socially and morally ready for the
next chapter in her life.”

Today’s Legacy, Tomorrow’s Promise
The Campaign for Preston High School
Thank you to all who have contributed to the Today’s Legacy, Tomorrow’s Promise
campaign since its launch in 2007. As of August 31, 2010 PHS completed Phase
1 of its capital renovation project, which raised approximately $1,230,000, mostly
from individual donors. Your support helped us to raise the much needed capital
funds to renovate our facilities and create state-of-the art science laboratories.
In the summer of 2011, PHS will complete the creation of a science suite
adjacent to our current computer labs that will consist of a total of 4 laboratories.
This will involve the renovation of our current Biology and Chemistry labs and
the conversion of current classroom and office spaces into additional labs.
These rooms will have not only new furniture, lab equipment and technology,
but their design will facilitate up-to-date pedagogical practices. These rooms
will be equipped with new safety equipment, energy-efficient windows and air
conditioning. In addition, we will install a new roof on the main building which
