Parting Words from our Interim Head of School
G
reetings to the Providence High School Community, The school year has been a whirlwind for all: students, their teachers, and families. It is evident that we have had a very busy and productive year. We have enjoyed many
achievements, thanks to the dedicated work of our teachers and staff, and especially, because of the talent, spirit, and contributions of our Providence students. Since my days as interim head of school are “numbered”, I offer thanks for the opportunity to have served in this capacity. When sitting at a lakeside early last July, I had no earthly idea that this school year would be spent with Providence kids and teachers, and in Burbank, California, no less. What a tremendous experience it has been! I have been privileged to have an association with a school that represents a foundation of academic, artistic and spiritual development. It has been refreshing to learn of the heritage provided by our founders, the Sisters of Providence, the Providence Core Values, and the school’s commitment to students of many backgrounds. Our future seems brighter each day. Our new leader, Joe Sciuto, begins his official leadership in July. We can be thankful that Joe has spent many days getting the background he will require to seamlessly make his transition to Providence. He will need your energy and good will to help assure his success on behalf of our students. If my own experiences here are a guide, I have no doubt that you, our Providence community, will step up to assist. Yours in Providence,
Michael E. Collins Interim Head of School
