Providence Hall High School

What a night! Our stands were packed for the first football game of the season, and the energy was electric. It was incredible to see so many students dressed in black to support the team in their special black jerseys commemorating the event.

For the first time ever, we had a pep band, and what a difference they made! A huge thank you to the musicians and to Director Michelle Leach for pulling it all together in just two school days.

Our Dance Team started a new tradition with the “Game Day Patriot,” handing the official game ball to the referees before kickoff. Cheer decorated the stadium and created a new dance to our fight song, We’re the Riot!—all while collaborating with the pep band to keep energy and rhythm alive in the stands. Coaches worked tirelessly to keep the team focused and motivated, and the players fed off the incredible home-field energy to mount a thrilling comeback.

While the scoreboard didn’t reflect a win, everyone there knew Providence Hall came out on top. We scored more points in one game than all last season, we filled our stadium with unmatched school spirit, and we showed what’s possible when we come together.

Henry Ford said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself," and we’re moving forward together toward something bigger—a Providence Hall that’s louder, prouder, and stronger than ever. With smart choices, teamwork, and resilience, there’s no limit to what we can achieve. The Riot is just getting started!

This week, let’s carry that same spirit into our first assembly of the year, as we commit to three guiding values:

• Strategic Decision-Making

• Collaboration

• Resilience & Accountability

Choose to have a week, Patriots!

Our Performing Arts yard sale was a huge success! Now, we’re keeping the momentum going to raise funds for our Nashville tour. Here’s how you can help: drop off as much clothing as possible. We earn money per pound of clothing, so the more you collect from friends, family, and neighbors, the closer we get to hitting our goal. Bag it up, bring it in, and let’s make this tour happen!

• There are no longer annual registration fees; however, students may still be responsible for class-specific fees (art, theater, production, etc.).
• Class fees can be found in the online course catalog.
• First semester class fees will be added to student accounts after August 20, once schedule changes are finalized.
