A group of young women are posing for a picture in front of a wall.

The Providence Alumnae Association (PAA) is dedicated to cultivating enduring relationships between alumnae and Providence Catholic School. It advances the institution’s core values—Excellence, Faith, Integrity and Justice—while providing financial support to current students through scholarships funded by membership contributions.

What is PAA?

The Providence Alumnae Association is a devoted and growing community of Providence graduates who choose to remain actively engaged by committing to monthly membership dues. On top of receiving exclusive benefits based on specific Providence tiers, those monthly membership goes towards the PAA’s scholarship fund.

Over these last 6 years, the PAA Board along with its PAA Members have awarded $50,500 worth of scholarships to current Providence students. Every PAA member plays a vital role in continuing the Sisterhood legacy for current Providence students.

PAA Board

There are many alumnae who feel called to give more to Providence, and one of the most impactful ways to volunteer is by joining the PAA Board. Members of the Providence Alumnae Association are eligible to serve on the Leadership Council, which functions as the governing Board that oversees the Association’s operations, initiatives, and strategic direction. The Leadership Council is composed of 4 Officer positions — President, Vice President, Treasurer, & Secretary — and 6 Chairwoman positions — Events Chair, Membership Chair, Scholarship Chair, Nominating Chair, Fundraising Chair and Public Relations Chair.

Here are some testimonies from previous PAA Board Members:

Previous Scholarship Chair, Erica Sosa Ph.D - Class of 1999. “My time at Providence was pivotal in my development and goal to be a confident, compassionate, Latina leader in my community. I very much want all young ladies to have an opportunity to gain these valuable experiences no matter their financial background. My work as the Scholarship Chair has allowed me to play an important role in distributing financial support to students to access similar experiences as I had."

Previous Treasurer, Beckie Crispino Hernandez - Class of 1980. “It has been great to work with so many accomplished young women to achieve our common goals. The scholarship program was the biggest learning experience for me and it was accomplished so very organized and smoothly. We will continue to assist Providence to reach out to its alumnae to keep them engaged with the school, its current students, and each other."

PAA Impact

The Board has 3 purposes to fulfill with the Association: Preserving a close relationship between the School and its Alumnae; Promoting the ideals and goals of Providence Catholic School and; Providing scholarships and tuition assistance for current students.

For the alumnae to maintain a close relationship with each other, the PAA Events Chairwoman, Membership Chairwoman and Public Relations Chairwoman collaborate to create meaningful events that foster continued Sisterhood bonding.

To help alumnae maintain a strong relationship with the school, the Public Relations Chairwoman promotes current Providence events and encourages alumnae to stay actively involved in the school community. All events that are created by PAA are focused and committed to promoting the values and goals that define Providence Catholic School. PAA will always remember to Strive for Excellence, Nourish Faith in God, Practice Integrity & Work for Justice.

As mentioned above, The PAA Board along with its PAA Members have awarded $50,500 of scholarship funds to current Providence students. For 2024 - 2025 PAA has created several scholarships built around the core values of Resilience, Devotion, Creativity, Service and Leadership. Each girl was selected after completing a short essay and displaying commendable academic achievement and representation of the Providence core values. With the help of our treasurer, Scholarship Chairwoman and Fundraising Chairwoman we have been able to create fundraising events that assist students to continue their education at Providence Catholic School.
