C. Victor LeBreton was born in El Paso, Texas where he attended local Catholic schools including Holy Family Grade School, and Cathedral High School, a Christian Brothers school. After high school graduation, Vic matriculated into Texas Western College, known today as the University of Texas at El Paso, where he studied for one year before he felt called to the priesthood.

Vic began four years of studies at Conception Seminary College, preparing to serve as a priest in the Diocese of El Paso. After four years, he entered Conception Abbey, the monastic Benedictine community which runs the seminary. At the conclusion of his novitiate year, he took a "leave of absence" to further "think things over", at which time he entered the realm of Catholic education. Vic credits his Alma Mater (the "mother of his soul"), Conception Seminary and Conception Abbey, for instilling in him the spiritual core which has guided his teaching ministry for nearly 40 years.

Vic began his career in education as an 8th grade teacher, first with one year at Mount Carmel School in Ysletta, Texas, followed by one year at Maria Regina School in Gardena, California. Vic moved to teaching high school at Villanova Preparatory School in Ojai, California, run by the order of St. Augustine, where he served for 11 wonderful years. After teaching Latin and Spanish, and moderating student government and several student Drama productions, Vic became Villanova's Dean of Residents and later the school's Vice Principal for Discipline.

Vic arrived at Providence High School in 1980. Initially he taught Spanish and Non Western Civilizations, and later Life Commitments, a religious studies course for 12th graders. In 1987, Sr. Lucille Dean invited Vic to serve as Providence High School's Vice Principal for Discipline and Student Activities. He accepted the position, and has worked in that capacity ever since. In this capacity, he has helped mold thousands of students into thoughtful caring adults. Through every campus event and activity, Vic is always one of the students' biggest cheerleaders. He works especially closely with the student government and has also been a regular adult member on the senior Kairos Retreat team.

Vic left Providence in 1989 to be Vice Principal for Discipline and Student Activities at St. Augustine High School in San Diego. Although his one year tenure there was extremely gratifying, the move to San Diego was not practical. Fortunately for the Providence community, he was able to resume his duties as Vice Principal at Providence High School the following year.

He sees his career being about teaching Jesus Christ: "First with the Order of St. Benedict (OSB), then with the Augustinians (OSA), and finally with the Sisters of Providence (SP). Basically, the OSAs and the SPs have made it possible for me to continue being an OSB, albeit outside the monastery".

"I have spent the greater part of my life being a Vice Principal for Discipline," says Vic, "but my focus has always been the students, be it here, or at any of the other schools where I've worked. It's all about the kids, about serving them, and guiding them with the love of a parent. This means life has blessed me with 39 years of loving literally thousands of students. Jesus said 'where your treasure is, there will your heart be also'. The students have always been my treasure, and they have filled my heart with love. What more could a man possibly ask for out of life?"
