History
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]
