We Believe In Family<\/h2>\r\n

Family is a powerful and meaningful word for most of us and we don’t take that concept lightly when we speak of the Presidio Family. Being part of the Presidio Family means that every member of our community -students, parents, teachers, and staff-is provided with support, respect, a feeling of belonging, the knowledge that we are there for one another when things are tough as well as when it is time to celebrate successes. The Presidio Family provides a setting that encourages academic and personal growth through a shared framework of values called the Six Pillars of Character- Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.<\/p>\r\n
