PETITION TO KEEP PRESTON HIGH SCHOOL OPEN To the Board of Directors of Preston High School, Bronx, NY: We, the students, parents, alumnae, faculty, staff, and supporters of Preston High School, write to express our deep sorrow and urgent concern over the announcement that our beloved school will be closing at the end of this academic year due to nuns greed and pride. For decades, Preston High School has been more than just a place of education—it has been a sanctuary of faith, sisterhood, and empowerment for young women in the Bronx and beyond. Our all-girls Catholic education has shaped countless leaders, nurtured lifelong friendships, and instilled values that guide us well beyond our years within these walls. The thought of losing this institution is heartbreaking and an extreme hardship for the current student body and future generations of young women who deserve the same opportunities we have had. We implore you to exhaust all possible options before finalizing this devastating decision. We ask that you: 1. Explore Alternative Funding Solutions – Seek grants, partnerships, or donor campaigns that could provide financial relief and long-term stability. 2. Engage the Preston Community – Allow alumnae, parents, and local businesses to rally together in support of fundraising initiatives. We believe in the power of our network and our ability to come together for our school. 3. Consider Restructuring – Explore cost-saving measures or adjustments that may allow the school to continue operating sustainably. 4. Allow More Time for a Solution – Rather than rushing to closure, give the Preston community the chance to work collectively toward a resolution that keeps the school open. The closure of Preston High School will not only disrupt the education and futures of current students but also diminish the legacy of an institution that has uplifted young women for generations. We believe that, together, we can find a way forward. We, the undersigned, urge the Board of Directors to do everything in its power to keep Preston High School open and preserve this vital institution for years to come. Sincerely, Ksenia O'Neil, freshman student of Preston, k2930870@gmail.com
