A Message from the Head of School,
Mr. Joe Sciuto
Dear Providence Families,
I recently hosted, here at
Providence, Heads of Schools and
Presidents from Catholic
Secondary Schools from Santa
Barbara down to southern Orange County. We meet as
a large group a few times a year to discuss our school
successes as well as issues and challenges which we
all face. Whatever line of work we are in, it is always
revitalizing to meet with colleagues from a different
“company.” As the Head of School at Providence, it is a
rare and terrific opportunity for me to learn from and
share ideas with other school Heads.
We discussed many items last week at our meeting.
We debated everything from school vouchers and tax
credits for private school tuition to tuition assistance
programs to structured merit-based compensation
scales and finally the question of artificial turf vs. grass
athletic fields. As you can see, our topics are diverse
and very interesting.
We spent a great deal of time speaking about how best
to market our Catholic Secondary Schools (It is
admissions season!) against the tide of decreasing
enrollment. Catholic School enrollment across the
country is falling. “Catholic schools nationwide have
fewer than half as many students as they did 50 years
ago, and the decline has resumed in the last 10 years
after leveling off briefly in the late 1990s, according to
the U.S. Department of Education. Nearly 1,650
Catholic schools have closed or been consolidated in
the last 10 years, 88 of them last year alone,” the
National Catholic Education Association says.
Thankfully here at Providence, our enrollment has been
incredibly stable for the last five years, and in fact, we
were one of the few Secondary Catholic Schools in the
region which saw an increase in enrollment from 20102014. Some of our local peers have not fared so well.
I spoke to my colleagues about our need to define WHY a
Catholic school education is superior to our public,
charter, and private rivals. What do Catholic schools
provide that a public or charter school simply can’t
provide? What we do and how we do it is simply not
enough. One of the other leaders spoke eloquently about
the far superior quality of teaching that takes place at our
Catholic schools. Another spoke about our exceptional
alumni bases. We all agreed that we have a true sense of
community at Catholic schools that a public or charter
school, and many private schools, simply cannot provide.
I think back to a conversation I had with one of our nonCatholic families a few years ago about why they chose
Providence High School. The father told me, “We chose
Providence because of the great programs and strong
academic reputation of the school, but also because there
is a true sense of community here. We also chose
Providence because of the moral education that is
provided and the spirituality and ethics that a Catholic
school provides.” I agree! I think that these are all distinct
features of our school.
We all agreed that our best marketers are our students,
parents, and alumni. If you want to see better programs,
improved facilities, and more school spirit at PHS, then
tell everyone about how great we are! The best marketing
takes place in the Starbucks line, the grocery store
parking lot, or the cocktail party. Join us in convincing
others that YOU BELONG HERE. Thank you for your
support of the Family Pledge Program and the Providence
Fund, and if you haven’t had a chance to participate yet,
please contact our Advancement Office.
Yours in Providence,
Joe Sciuto, Head of School
YOU BELONG HERE.

Mock Trial
Providence competed once again in the Constitutional Rights Foundation’s Mock Trial
competition this year. The Constitutional Rights Foundation’s Los Angeles County Mock Trial
Competition is held at the downtown Stanley Mosk Courthouse. This year, 94 high schools
participated.
Providence narrowly missed advancing to a third round bid this year, unfortunately. Our team lost
to a school in the first round by just two percentage points. We then won convincingly in the
second round. However, out of 94 competing high schools, just eight made it directly to the third
round. The third round is a tournament of 16 schools total. The other eight third round high school
teams were determined through a playoff: 16 teams competed in a single-elimination wildcard
playoff to move to the third round; the teams that had advanced directly got a bye. Our team
narrowly missed that wildcard playoff. The team to which we lost in the first round was one of the
eight out of 94 teams to move directly to the third round.
Thus, we narrowly lost to one of the best teams in the
whole tournament, which is largely why we barely missed a
wildcard berth.
At Providence, Mock Trial is a co-curricular program; we
train after school three days a week through to the
beginning of the competition in early November with two
well-qualified attorney coaches from the California
Department of Justice—we are lucky to have them.
Depending upon how far we advance, we continue
through to early December.
We have only two graduating seniors, and a great
team nucleus going forward. We are looking forward to
some great successes next year!
Did You Know?
Juniors and seniors in the Medical Focus Program have received a unique invitation to USC's
Annual Symposium on Global Medicine featuring women and children's health around the world.
Providence HS is the only high school invited. The event is primarily designed for a target
audience of med students and undergraduates from all over the State of California

PHS Annual Christmas Concert
On December 7th, the PHS Choral Program held its annual Christmas concert at Saint Finbar Church. It
was fantastic evening of music featuring holiday favorites and carols from around the world. It was a
successful event finically, bringing in over $5000.00 which will go towards the travel expenses during the
spring semester. The students take pride in their performances and were happy to celebrate the season
with you! Thank you to those of you who attended the concert. Please visit

PHS Faculty and Staff Give Back
On January 5th, rain drenched Southern California streets, sidewalks, and parking lots became massive puddles.
While many people may have decided to wait out the storm indoors, Providence High School Faculty and Staff
braved the elements in order to dedicate their time and talents to a school community in need.
As part of a new tradition that started last year under the leadership of Principal Mrs. Allison Castro, the PHS Faculty
and Staff participated in a Community Service project before students return to campus for second semester classes.
It gives us the opportunity to give back, work as a team, and helps us model to our students the importance of
Christian Service Hours.
This year, our service project landed us just a hop, skip, and jump down the road at St. Patrick School in North
Hollywood. This small school community enthusiastically welcomed the idea of over 80 pairs of helping hands.
The main focus of the project was to reclaim a classroom that has been slowly collecting a variety of items for
storage and turn it into a working computer lab for the lower grades. The room was emptied of clutter and painted.
The carpet was shampooed and bulletin boards were decorated. Wiring was installed for internet accessibility on the
18 computers generously donated by Facey Medical Group and Providence Health and Services. The transformation
was stunning and the students were in for a fabulous surprise!
This may seem like enough work for one day, but it is just a small portion of what accomplished that day. The
school’s PTA room was in desperate need of cleaning and organizing, and the team went in head first! Parent
volunteers marveled at their new work space. The school’s upper computer lab also received a face lift with a new,
fresh coat of paint and eye catching bulletin boards which had been long neglected.
If you looked out the window that day, the first thing to pop into your head wouldn’t be “I should do some gardening
today”, but low and behold a handful of our dedicated faculty and staff, including Head of School Mr. Joe Sciuto,
stood up to the wind and rain to till and weed a corner of land that the school had hoped to make into a student
community garden. They worked quickly, soaked to the bone, in order to clear the planter boxes of wild overgrown
weeds so that the students would have a blank canvas in which to grow their own garden. While many of us thought
they were crazy, their determination to get the work done was admirable.
Overall, an incredibly fulfilling day spending time with fellow colleagues, learning about each other, discovering
hidden talents and working as a team with another school community. The PHS community returns to start the
second semester revived and renewed and ready to take on 2016!

PHS Student Art Work on Display at the Cathedral!
On Sunday, January 23, five PHS students, along with other high school students, their families, and art
teachers from across the Archdiocese were invited to participate in the fourth annual Robert Graham
Memorial Student Art Exhibit. This exhibit is named in honor of the noted sculptor Robert Graham, who
designed the Cathedral’s Great Bronze Doors.
They celebrated Mass, and Msgr. Kevin Kostelnik, Pastor of the Cathedral presented certificates to all 72
students. He prayed for continued “inspiration with the gift of creativity, for to do so is to image our
Creator God.”
The five students honored were:
Maria Benedicto, 12th grade,
Cristina Corral, Tiffany Dang,
and Peter Levitan, 11th grade,
and Kaitlin Luttenberger, 10th
grade. Each piece is based on
the artist’s spirituality,
expressed in unique and
creative ways. Their artwork is
currently being exhibited at the
Cathedral of Our Lady of the
Angels, downtown. Their pieces
will be seen by thousands of
visitors to the Cathedral from
January 24th, until April 30th
Maria’s piece, Free, depicts “how spiritual energy flows around us constantly like the wind.” In Cristina’s
piece, Homeostasis, she states that “Through quiet reflection I try to maintain spiritual homeostasis.”
Peter depicted the face of Jesus in Crown of Thorns. In his artist statement he says, “The face represents
the pain he went through by seeing his emotional expression. The crown of thorns represents the image
of Jesus’ suffering. You can understand the pain someone is going through by his or her facial
expression.” Tiffany’s charcoal drawing is called Transcendence and she states, “For me, this piece is
reminiscent of Jesus’ Resurrection in the way the fabric is lifted and elevated.” Kaitlin’s 3-dimensional art
piece, Tree of Life, represents a tree with one leaf. She states, “This tree with its one leaf represents hope
to me; the kind of hope that guides you through Winter into Spring and warms your soul.”

Adopt-A-Family 2015
During December, as we have done for many years, Providence participated in the Adopt-A-Family
program of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angeles in downtown L.A. The program’s goal is to make
Christmas a bit more special for needy families in the heart of the city. The Social Ministry Office of the
cathedral registered the families and invited them to fill out a “Needs and Wishes” questionnaire.
Providence High School, like other groups in L.A., applied to “adopt” families. We committed ourselves to
provide gifts for 18 families on the cathedral’s list. Four teams
were created. Each team consisted of two homerooms, and
each team was assigned a family. Our non-homeroom staff and
administration were organized into a four separate adult teams,
each team being responsible for one family.
The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas break were
busy times around campus. All the generous donations of our
community were delivered to the cathedral on Friday, December
11 by six students and four staff members. On Saturday, December 19, at 6 am, 28 Providence students
and staff drove to the cathedral to join hundreds of others volunteers filled with the spirit of Christmas.
The archbishop led us in prayer. Coffee, hot chocolate, and doughnuts were served. Then, we all lined up
our cars, trucks, and vans and were assigned families to whom to deliver. For the next couple of hours we
visited with our assigned families, delivered their gifts, and sang Christmas carols.
After we did our good work, we gathered at Homegirl Café for brunch. Students and staff were able to
share with each other some of their reactions to the day. Emotions ranged from joy at bringing gifts for
children to sadness at the reality of poverty in our inner city. As a parting thank you to the patrons and
staff at Homegirl, we sang “Feliz Navidad” to the crowded
restaurant all the while wearing our Providence sweatshirts. Quite a
wonderful way to start our Christmas break.

January FAD Rally
Special Guest Presentation
Friends Against Drugs (FAD) brings students together in solidarity celebrating the choice to live a drug free
life. Our FAD organization meets monthly during homeroom to help remind its members that they are making a
health choice by not choosing to do drugs.
At our January FAD rally Chloe Aranda provide a very
powerful presentation on Teen Dating Violence that kicked off Teen
Date Violence awareness month. We all need to make healthy
choices in order to maintain healthy relationships, and seek help
when needed.
Winter ASB Camp
Providence High School has a very robust leadership team in our Associated Student Body (ASB) members.
They run many of our student activities, generate school spirit, and are often found providing service at school
functions. In order to prepare for the Spring semester thirty of our ASB students attended a weekend camp in
Wrightwood, CA. Theme Night, pep rallies, ASB elections and school dances were planned. In addition to planning
for the Spring semester, ASB job positions were revised and updated and the process of updating the ASB
constitution began.
ASB camp was not all work and no play. This year we were fortunate
to have fresh snow. This led to snow angels, sledding, and snowball
fights. As our time at camp came to a close we attended Mass on
Sunday thanking God for the many blessings we have. Our ASB
students work hard to create a positive high school experience for our
student body. Go PIONEERS!
