Very helpful with college and the applying process. A lot of resources for scholarships too. School could be more oriented on academics more; it focuses a lot on sports.

I went to PCHS because it is a Catholic school where I would continue my studies we religious values. I really liked the campus and it was closed to my house. I really enjoyed Coach Oliver's Religion Class. I like his passion about it and how he would apply those concepts into our lifetime. I also played hockey for the school. I liked that my teammates were in my classes. We had a lot of fun. I loved our Friday's Home Games. A lot of students would come watch our games. It was great. I am going to miss PCHS but I know and I'm thankful that I made great memories there.

We realized too late that serious lapses in morality by, not only kids but al...

All 4 of our children attended Providence Catholic - by their individual choices. The truly love Providence. The academic preparation was excellent - all have done great in college and 2 are now in elite graduate programs. But what they talk about the most is the spirit of Providence - both the fami...
