Nativity Preparatory School of Wilmington

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms, mother figures, and supporters of Nativity Prep! 💐

Thank you for every hug, prayer, ride, reminder, sacrifice, and moment of love you pour into our boys. Your care and support help make our school community feel like family.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 🤍

Today, we celebrate and appreciate you all.

Happy Principal Day to an incredible leader, Dr. Altina Herbert!

Today we celebrate a principal who leads with purpose, passion, and heart. Dr. Herbert’s commitment to our boys at Nativity Preparatory School goes far beyond the school day—she shows up as a mentor, an advocate, and a visionary who believes deeply in the potential of every student.

Because of her leadership team, our school continues to grow in excellence, community, and opportunity. She challenges us to be better and never loses sight of the mission.

Thank you, Dr. Herbert, for your unwavering dedication, your bold leadership, and the love you pour into this community every single day. We appreciate you today and always! 💙💛

This is a great way to finish the week with a win! Our team earned the top spot in the 4×100 Penn Relay race and claimed the trophy. We are extremely proud of our boys.

Nativity Preparatory School has received a $1 million commitment from Mr. Paul and Linda McConnell to support the school’s endowment. This is the largest cash gift in the school’s history and an important step in helping to secure Nativity’s future for generations of young men to come.

An endowment is a long-term investment that helps ensure the financial strength and stability of the school over time. While this gift is restricted for the endowment and cannot be used for current operating expenses, it is a powerful sign of belief in Nativity’s mission and in the young men and families we serve every day.

Both of our teams have gone completely crazy this basketball season. Come out and show school pride!

Thank you Patchwork Human Services LLC and your team for being listeners, advocates, motivators, and champions for our boys. Nativity is stronger because of the work you do—every single day.

We have been closely monitoring the status of roadways throughout our school community.

Out of an abundance of caution and with student and staff safety as our top priority, Nativity Prep will be closed on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. This day will serve as a snow day for students. All after-school activities and programs are also canceled for Wednesday.

Due to the continued impact of the winter storm, Nativity Prep will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27th. There will be no after-school activities or LYTE for 8th graders.

Stay warm, stay safe, say a little prayer for the plows, thr essential workers, the displaced community and enjoy this unexpected Sabbath-like pause.

Today, Nativity Prep honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King believed deeply in the power of education, service, and faith to transform lives and communities. His call to justice, equality, and love for one another continues to guide our mission as we prepare young people to lead with integrity, courage, and compassion.

As we reflect on his words and witness, may we recommit ourselves to serving others and building a more just and peaceful world—together.

“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
