student engagement
Providence students are on campus every day of the week from sunrise to long after sunset. They support each other, work collaboratively, develop leadership skills, and develop lifelong friendships.
We encourage your child to join in on the fun: Stand up and cheer on our teams. Audition and perform in one of our amazing theater productions. Travel and sing with our talented chorale groups. Fly a drone with our Robotics Club. Compete in our Theme Day or Pioneer Week traditions. Dance the night away at Winter Formal. Discover your passions, show off your spirit, and share your talents, forge new friendships through student life activities, events, and groups on campus.
