presentationacademy.org2017 Annual Report

Dear Alumnae, Families and Friends,

Presentation Academy has always been an institution focused on growth. This is not

growth for growth’s sake. Instead, it is a growth of the spirit, of purpose. With all of

the expected changes announced during the 2016-2017 school year, I’m extremely

proud of how far Pres has come and inspired by our bright future.

This year saw the beginning of many new opportunities for Pres Girls, notably in the

expansion of our international program. In addition to our current International and

Exchange students, we welcomed students from Guatemala and Denmark. The pro-

found impact this added experience had on our girls is something that isn’t neces-

PresidentA message from our former

sarily attained from a book. This budding program is a step toward what I’m sure will

be a more robust global program, embodying our cornerstone values of diversity

and inclusivity.

It is bittersweet to see these exciting changes occur toward the end of my official

journey with Pres. My decision to retire as President and leave Presentation Acade-

my after an 11-year tenure is rooted in my desire to serve our world and Church in

other capacities. Like our graduates, I am headed down a new path, answering the

call to new opportunities for service.

On September 1, I began a new position at the Leadership Conference of Women

Religious located in Silver Spring, Maryland. The Leadership Conference serves

nearly 80 percent of all Catholic women religious in the United States and assists its

members to collaboratively carry out their service of leadership to further the mis-

sion of the Gospel in today’s world.

To say it’s been an honor to serve the community of Presentation Academy is an

understatement. I am grateful I have encountered so many courageous and strong

women known as Pres Girls. As an Honorary Pres Alumna and Sister of Charity of

Nazareth, I am honored to say that Pres will always remain in my heart and prayers

as I proclaim, “Once a Pres Girl, Always a Pres Girl.”

Gratefully,

Christine Beckett, SCN H’2016President

Alumnae boldly forge new pathsPresentation alumnae have been accomplishing great feats for over a century now – and recent grads are no exception to the rule. Since signing the Tower and tossing their caps, graduates use the skills developed at Pres to flourish at college and in their careers. Not surprisingly, they say they’re grateful for far more than the academic skills learned at Pres. They’re thankful for the opportunity to develop courage and conviction.

Trailblazer

Jessica Bellamy, ’07: Born in Louisville’s Smoketown area, an economi-cally disadvantaged neighborhood, Jessica learned at Pres that her local social justice interests were not only valid, but highly valuable. Although she felt a passion for community activism from a young age, she said that Pres enabled her to map out her dreams and gave her the tools necessary to make them a reality. “At Pres, we were all taught to build on our own talents, and we were encouraged to have confidence in ourselves and our pursuits,” she said. “The leadership and strategic mindsets you learn at Pres are invaluable.”

Jessica holds a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from the University of Louisville, where she received a full scholarship and graduated summa cum laude. In the years since, she has fused her passion for social engagement with her knowledge of graphic design to create her own company, Grassroots Information Design Studio (GRIDS). GRIDS aims to increase access to information at the community level through information graphics, animated graphics and more.

Making a pitch for passion

From Pres Girl To

Three sisters, one Pres familyWhen the Sauer sisters started at Pres, they had much more on their minds than whom to sit with at lunch. Their family moved to southern Indiana in 2004 from a town outside of Chicago, where

radioactive wastewater from a nearby nuclear power plant is believed to have caused brain cancer in the middle daughter, Sarah. Though their journey getting to Presentation was a hard

one, all three Sauer sisters took that experience and turned it into something positive.

Paying back apriceless experience

Sarah Sauer, ‘12: At just 7 years old, Sarah underwent multiple treat-ments and surgeries for her brain cancer. These trials left Sarah with a unique set of physical and cognitive challenges, though she said no other students or teachers let that get in the way of her enjoying her time at Pres. “When my principal, Mrs. Barbara Wine, looked at me, she did not see a 4-foot, 8-inch girl who had cancer and some special needs,” she said. “She saw a young lady who had been through a lot already in life who deserved the opportunity to have a normal high school experience. Mrs. Wine taught me to look at difficulties in life, not as roadblocks, but as challenges to solve and overcome.”

Sarah hopes to pay this positive treatment forward through her work and community outreach. Sarah, an early childhood educator, is working with fellow Pres alumna Samantha Stengel to develop the CHUM (Children and Horses United in Movement) of Kentucki-ana. This therapeutic horseback riding program seeks to offer the same amount of care and love to the special needs community as Sarah received from her Pres family while in school.

Christina Sauer, ‘10: The eldest of the Sauer sisters, Christina also used her experiences at Pres to shape her future. While at Fourth and Breck, she caught the theater bug and later said that passion evolved into a desire to communicate. “At Pres, I gained a love of translating complex subjects into engaging, relatable stories.” she said.

Due to her family’s experience, she chose environmen-tal studies as the first complex topic she wanted to translate. After majoring in environmental studies at Brown University, she realized she had much more to learn about science issues before communicating them to the public. To do so, she moved on to the University of Michigan to earn a master of science degree with a focus on environmental justice.

Christina’s ambition to learn began during her time at Pres. She said, “Pres instilled in me a drive to succeed and a passion for learning that has not dwindled,” she said. “I feel so blessed that I can reflect on my high school years with fondness.”

Christina is currently pursuing her master’s in science and natural history filmmaking at Montana State University. She aims to use this education to create television programming that communicates science issues to children.

A yearn to learn

Rebecca Sauer, ‘14: After watching her two older sisters attend Pres, Rebecca couldn’t wait for her turn to walk through those front doors. “I remember wearing my ‘I’m a future Pres Girl’ t-shirt on my oldest sister’s first day. Pres was such a wonderful home for my sisters, so I never once doubted whether it was the perfect school for me,” she said.

Now at the start of her senior year at the University of Southern California, Rebecca attributes her confidence to her time at Pres. “Pres really creates an atmosphere where expressing your opinions and being confident in your own abilities and knowledge base is welcome and valued, which was a tremendous asset as I transitioned into classes that often contain several hundred students,” she said.

Like Christina, Rebecca is currently pursuing an educa-tion in environmental studies. She said the impact of environmental factors on her sister Sarah caused her to be incredibly passionate about the environment. She wants to protect the health of ecosystems and the people who live in them.

Seekingsuccess

out West

They call themselves SIPsters. While each Pres Girl worked on her own project, the girls supported, encouraged and leaned on one another during the year so much they began to feel like sisters.

Each of these 10 girls spent her entire senior year working on a Senior Independent Project (SIP) based on her own interests. During the spring semester of their junior year, students presented their topics to administrators and faculty for approval. Their topics ranged from politics to music to drama – all subjects they felt passionate about.

Each school day they developed their research, writing and presentation skills as they prepared for their final presentation at the end of the school year. In doing so, the students reached out to the surrounding community for help with gathering data and making connections, many with alumnae.

When the year ended, they felt confident in their skills and had formed priceless bonds. Best of all, they leave Pres knowing they can use their passion to make a difference.

STUDY INDEPENDENTLY, Grow Together

“My project is an in-depth study of the First 100 Days of the Presi-dency of Donald Trump. I aimed my research toward a teen audi-

ence and posted on my blog, Twitter and Facebook often to try and educate our future voters on

the political process.”- Alea Luckett

“My first semester project focused on a Hillary Clinton rally, and I worked with politicians on a

local, state and national level. My second semes-ter, I researched the history and constitutional origins of the Electoral College and created an easy-to-read guide to the complicated system.”

- Vivian Bowles

“My project is an animated short film following the lives of three of my own char-acters Santiago, Taylor, and Anevay through childhood, teenage years and

adulthood. All three deal with their own struggles in life, and my video shows that everything will eventually work out in the end once you find what you need.”

- Mary Bays

“For my project, I coordinated a large-scale fundraiser for the Huntington's

Disease Society of America (HDSA) from start to finish. I worked with the HDSA

Great Lakes Region, University of Louis-ville’s Movement Disorders Clinic, and had

many articles run on local news media outlets. By the end of my fundraiser, I had exceeded my goal of $5,000 and was able to raise $6,450 to donate to the Hunting

ton’s Disease Society of America.”- Bree Shaughnessy

“My project was a study of why government employees believe

there is a lack of female representa-tion in our government, which I then

expressed through art.”- Taylor Sansone

“I created an interpretive dance that reflects the struggles of a young boy name Amadu as he grows up being a forced boy soldier during the Sierra Leone Civil War. Then I

created a journal that goes more in-depth about Amadu’s experience from when he was taken from his home to learning how to kill innocent people for the rebel soldiers.”

- India Watkins

“I did my independent project on learning more about music theory and

creating my own original musical compositions with guitar and piano.”

- Mary McNeil

“I taught myself American Sign Language using online resources. I learned enough in order to have

a conversation with someone and perform a song.”

- Josie Hile

“I interviewed 11 renowned chefs in the Louisville area and created a cookbook filled with recipes from the chefs based on culture and cuisine, titled Culture &

Kitchen. I also created a website in which I included the full interviews, my own recipes and a page with links to donate to local food banks.”

- Edith Greenberg

“My SIP project was an exploration of black culture and where I find myself

within it. It was an opportunity for me to decide who I was on my own time,

without influences from other people. It gave me a chance to connect with other women who grew up the same way and

make lifelong friendships. “- Taia Brymer

New during the 2016-2017 school year was a partnership with the Jump the World Experiencias Interculturales Program. The goal of the program is to provide a high quality education institution for Guatemalan students with an English immersion experience, while also creating an environment for Pres Girls to become more familiar with other regions of the world. Through this program we welcomed three young women who spent two months in our school and our homes. As a part of this fully immersive program, the three Guatemalan students, Renata, Yohanna and Ceci, were placed with host families and attended all classes with their host sister or student ambassador. This program offered rare and exciting opportunities for both Pres Girls and the exchange students. It encouraged them to develop unique friendships that taught them more about cultural diversity and inclusivity than any textbook could. Those taking part in the program have the ability to participate in extracurricular activities; Renata and Ceci even joined the swim team and attended every practice, side-by-side with their sisters at Pres.

EXPANDING OUR REACH:

PRES WITHOUT BORDERS Presentation offers students a world view and cultural experience that reaches well

beyond the downtown campus. This year, the expansion of the international exchange program allowed Pres Girls to interact with students from several new countries, including Guatemala and Denmark. Pres also welcomed international

students from all over the globe, including Vietnam, China, Nepal and Afghanistan.

Diving into new culturEs

For the first time, students from Denmark came to visit Louisville and studied alongside Pres Girls for a week. In mid-January, nine students came from Odsherreds Efterskole, a private boarding school just outside of Copen-hagen. These students participated in the YMCA Go For It Conference in Leitchfield, Kentucky, before spending a week with their host families at Pres. Nicole Palatas said interacting with her guest student was her favorite part of the experience. “I was teaching her about our culture, but also learning about hers!” she said.

Elizabeth Roos, a visiting student from Denmark, enthusiastically agreed, “This has all been an amazing experience. I have especially enjoyed staying with my family, as they have been open, kind and funny.”

Bringing Their “A” GameIt was more than a victory; it was validation. On Sept. 15, 2016, Presentation’s volleyball team beat other small schools from around the state to win the All “A” State Tournament for the second year in a row. Congratulations to all the girls who worked hard, persevered and came out on top.

Gaining STEAMPres Girls never back down from a challenge, especially one with a stereotype to smash. Our students are excelling in historically male dominated fields by taking on STEAM – science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Their growing interest can be seen inside and out of the classroom.

Inspired by her love of STEAM subjects, Christina Hiland ‘20 helped organize a march for clean energy on May 13, 2017. Embracing what she learned about environmental justice, climate change and clean energy while participating in the Louisville Environmentalist Training Program, she felt driven to take action and spread awareness of the need for clean energy within our own community.

Monet Rice and Naima Martin also fostered their passion for STEAM while at Kentucky State University’s Summer Apprenticeship Program. This program for minority students helps pique an interest in STEAM fields along with career possibilities. Naima and Monet were all in. The summer of 2017 marked Naima’s third summer participating and Monet’s second.

Senior Shaye Allen served as president of the STEAM Club and won the science award for her senior class.

“Horsing Around” at the Kentucky Derby MuseumNot many high school students can say they went down in Kentucky Derby history, but

Pres Girls are no ordinary high school students. Blaire Killmeier ‘18 and Emily Spicer ‘18

each created a portrait of a horse that was included in the “Horsing Around with Art” art

show at the Kentucky Derby Museum. Their pointillism drawings were displayed at a

ceremony during which Blaire received Honorable Mention and Emily received second

place in the high school division.

At the Kentucky Art Education Association (KYAEA) Regional All-State Art Competition,

three students took home honors in Photography: Emily Kustes ‘17 received first place;

Ashlynn Tucker ‘19 received second place and Mallory Jent ’17 received an honorable

mention.

Presentation was well represented at the national level in the Scholastic Art & Writing

Awards. Mallory Jent ‘17 received three Silver Key awards for her individual photographs

and a Silver Key award for her photography portfolio. The following students received

honorable mentions: Yingxin Guo ‘17, Mary Bays ‘17, Laura Megia ‘18, Mallory Jent ‘17,

Ashlynn Tucker ’19 and Carol Watson ‘19.

Winning with grace – and smartsThis year, the Future Problem Solvers took home the first place trophy at the regional competition. The award-winning team members includ-

ed Claire Curtis ‘19, Leah Vogt ‘19, Dayna Thomas ‘19, Delaney Hildreth ‘19, Kaelin Owens ‘19 and Sophie Ball ‘19. In addition, the academic

team also won the sportsmanship award.
