Senior Week and Beyond
Our Class of 2026 graduates this Friday evening, and we cannot wait to celebrate them in our customary style. The traditional “Senior cut-out” photos are on display all week around the statue of Mary!
School ends for all other students next week, after which we turn our attention to a busy summer — and to preparations for Providence Academy’s 25th Anniversary.
25th Anniversary Kickoff Weekend: August 14–17
We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you all year long, beginning with a weekend packed with festivities:
- Friday, August 14 — A Coffeehouse Concert featuring PA alumni performers from across the past two decades.
- Saturday, August 15 — A family picnic on the West fields with complimentary food, games, music, and fun for all ages. At 4:00 p.m., we’ll offer Mass for the Feast of the Assumption — a date that also marks 25 years to the day since the first Mass was ever said at Providence Academy. That evening, we’ll gather in the Great Room for a more formal dinner, toasting the past 25 years and looking ahead as Providence charts the next 25 years of Faith, Knowledge, and Virtue. A very special presentation on PA’s history will be given by our Founder and Chairman, Mr. Robert Cummins. Not to be missed!
- Monday, August 17 — Our annual Lions Cup golf tournament at Woodhill Country Club caps off the weekend. All PA friends and families are encouraged to join us on the course or to support the event through hole sponsorships and more.
Brick by Brick
Final construction continues apace on the final phase of our Brick by Brick — Building the Tradition Capital Campaign: a new athletic hospitality facility to serve athletes and guests at outdoor contests. We are deeply grateful to senior parents Rob and Amy Parish and their family foundation, the Pine Rock Foundation, for their lead gift toward this project. Soon our entire PA community will be able to enjoy concession offerings, restroom facilities, and a signature pine- and rock-lined open-air viewing area complete with a firepit and tribute. We’ll unveil it all during our 25th Anniversary.
September 11 Commemoration: A Solemn 25th Anniversary
This fall, our annual September 11 Commemoration will carry special weight as we mark 25 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001 — the same year Providence Academy opened its doors. We invite the entire community to join us as we remember the lives lost, honor the courage of that day, and reflect on a quarter century of building a school grounded in Faith, Knowledge, and Virtue. More details to follow.
More to Come
We’ll continue marking 25 years of Providence Academy throughout the year, and I’m excited to share that this winter we will unveil the inaugural class of inductees to our new Athletic Hall of Fame. Stay tuned!
