Providence Catholic Announces January Students of the Month

NEW LENOX (February 8, 2024) – Mr. Paul Houston, Principal of Providence Catholic High School, is pleased to announce the school’s “Students of the Month” for January. This year, the celebration for these students took on a new format, which includes a breakfast with their parents and the teacher who nominated them.

“We are grateful to be celebrating such wonderful students.” says Mr. Houston. “The curiosity, engagement, and character displayed in the classroom on a daily basis has led to their selection as Student of the Month. This recognition underscores their exemplary attitude and approach to learning, and each of these students makes our community a better place.”

Every month, each academic department selects one student as “Student of the Month” from students nominated by faculty and staff. Students of the Month receive a certificate of recognition, have their photos displayed in Providence Catholic High School’s main hallway for the following month, and are invited to a special breakfast.
