Dear Providence Stallion Families,
I am writing to you with profound joy in my heart for such a wonderful beginning of the 2025-2026 school year. It was so good to see you all here on campus Monday, August 4 for Orientation and Curriculum Night. We believe this will be a special year for the Providence School as we come together as a community “United in Christ”! I want to give a special thanks to our administration, faculty, and families for being on board with the launch of 2025-2026 year. Before you know it, the seniors will be graduating and the class of 2038, this year’s kindergarten class, will be ready for first grade.
I believe the Lord has brought us together for such a time as this to Love one Another as He has loved us. As we begin the year challenging our students to give their best efforts in their classes, sports, arts, and life, we know we are partnering with you to prepare each student for the plans the Lord has for them. May God bless you as we begin another year of preparation for our students.
I would be remiss if I did not share my sincere thanks to the operations and facilities teams that serve us hear at Providence. Specifically, I would like to give special acknowledgement to Glenn Wilkes, Dale Zink, Terry Shepard, Justin Self, Jason Mills, Rodney Drabek, and Johnny Allen for their ability to have the school ready to go this year with new features, security and safety enhancements, and tools for our students. They have worked tirelessly to ensure we were able to begin the year on a beautiful campus. Some, but nowhere near all the work that is significant to the campus this summer is as follows:
- We have a pool, and it is being used by our swim team! I’m so proud of the attention to detail as this project has come to fruition. I can’t wait to see what our swimmers can achieve now that they have a pool to swim in.
- Enhanced security systems that work directly with local law enforcement and first responders.
- The parking lot has been restriped and looks amazing.
- The fields are ever expanding and improving for our students and teams to use.
- The girl’s locker room in the gym has has been renovated with new floors, lockers, and showers.
- The first floor A wing bathrooms have been redone and look amazing.
- The Upper School Media Center has been updated with new flooring and paint.
- The floors have been stripped, waxed, and look beautiful.
- The gym has been revarnished and looks amazing.
- The gym bleachers have been refurbished and are ready for a great year of viewing from our fans.
May Providence School be a blessing to all who come onto our campus. I believe that as we live out our theme of loving one another, visitors and each of us will experience Jesus here on our campus! May we stand apart from the world as we love the way Jesus does!
God Bless you this year! Thank you for choosing Providence for your child’s education and a deeper relationship with Jesus.
Respectfully,
Tim M. Anderson, Ph.D.
Head of School
Providence School of Jacksonville
