  • New Entrance to Sports Fields Nearly Ready
    The new Providence Athletic Center will soon be ready for use. Our Lady of Providence inspires Faith, empowers Hope, strengthens Love and the Formation of the whole person through exemplary Catholic Education April 12, 2017 - eVision News Serving Parents, Alumni and Friends of Providence New entrance to sports fields nearly ready Soon, fans will have a new entrance for track and baseball events. The new Pioneer Athletic Center (PAC) is a combined entrance for the football/soccer/track stadium and baseball field. For now, the PAC will feature a grand entrance corridor and new ticket booth, restrooms and concession stand. A decorative fence featuring iron and brick pylons replaces the tired chain link one, and a patio/reception area has been added along the side of the building. A tentative date has been set for the PAC dedication on May 2 during the Baseball game vs. Silver Creek with the date and time to be confirmed. The left side of the building interior has yet to be finished. Once additional funding is raised, the new space could contain locker room facilities on the ground level and a training and fitness area on the upper level. Another future project, which will also begin as donated funds are in place, is refurbishing of the home-side Murphy Stadium bleachers, which require both compliance and cosmetic improvements. If you are interested in helping complete the transformation of the PHS campus, please contact Mr. Tony Perito, vice president of advancement, at [email protected] or call 812-945-3350.

Raimondo and other state and local officials today joined students, parents, educators, and community members in a groundbreaking ceremony for the new East Providence High School. The ceremony marked the start of construction on the $189.5-million project, one of the largest to receive funding under the State’s School Construction Program. The 304,000-square-foot, four-story facility, with capacity for 1,600 students in grades 9-12, will open in 2021. Officials hailed it as a state- of-the-art, comprehensive high school that will serve as an exemplar for school districts throughout New England. “This ceremony marks a critical milestone in our journey to transform this historic high school and build a bright future for this community,” said Kathryn M. Crowley, Superintendent of the East Providence School District. “The new East Providence High School will provide our students and staff academic, athletic, and enrichment spaces in which to innovate, experiment, and thrive.” Last November, East Providence residents overwhelmingly approved a bond referendum to finance the project, seizing an opportunity to receive State reimbursement for up to 75 percent of eligible costs. “Today’s groundbreaking is a sign of progress not just for East Providence, but for all of Rhode Island,” said Governor Raimondo.
