Philosophy and Goals
1. As an expression of the Providence High School mission, we believe it is essential that students demonstrate their Christian faith by providing a direct and visible response to Archbishop Buechlein’s call for a “greater emphasis on spiritual renewal, evangelization and stewardship” in his Journey for Hope 2001 program. Our hope is that Providence graduates will take their place in the community and contribute a Christian influence on society.
2. We believe that our students should be exposed to the diverse population of the local area and to witness first hand the trials of those less fortunate physically, mentally and economically.
3. We expect Service Learning Projects to provide academic and spiritual growth opportunities.
