Providence High School in Burbank, California, is a co-ed, independent, Catholic, college preparatory high school, founded by the Sisters of Providence in 1955. [2] Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
On 19 September 1955, the school admitted 81 girls to its new educational facility. Due to construction delays, the building was not finished upon their arrival, and they start instruction in circus tents in the school parking lot. By November 1955, the school's building completed construction. In 1959, 68 students would attend its first commencement ceremony. [3] [4]
In 1960, the school was accredited by the Board of Admissions and Relations of the University of California. According to the Burbank Leader, in 1974 the school opened as a co-educational institution. [3] [4]
Providence High School transitioned to an independent school organizational model in 20211, with Joe Sciuto serving as the school's first Head of School from 2011 to 2019. [5] Scott McLarty was selected to become Providence High School's second Head of School in 2019 [6] [7]
The Cinema Arts Program intends to help students explore media through an in-depth hands-on curriculum. The program conducts various activities through the Cinema Arts Center, an art studio accessible to students. Cinema Arts students are given the opportunity to compete in various film competitions and to hear from guest speakers currently working in the industry. [8]
The four-year program covers topics from health, medicine, and biotechnology to health care within political, social, economic, religious and ethical frameworks.
The program is the result of a partnership between Providence High School and Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center. Expansion of the program now includes participation and support of the following organizations/institutions: Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, Shriner's Hospital, University of Southern California University Hospital, LAC+USC Medical Center, Glendale Memorial Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, Midway Medical Center, Huntington Memorial Hospital, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. [9] [10]
The Technology Program is designed as a broad-based introduction to various kinds of technology, providing a launching pad for further college study and industry application. [11]
In 2018, the Technology Program Center held its ribbon-cutting ceremony, unveiling a 32-station computer lab, four 3-D printers, a CNC machine, a mill machine, and a laser cutter. This facility is open for Technology Focus Program students enrolled in the four-year program. [12]
