  My favorite memory of Providence Academy can be summed up in three words: Sister Mary Claver. She was the principal when I attended high school there. Sister Mary Claver knew that I worked in my daddy's restaurant after school and sometimes quite late at night. When I was late for school in the morning and climbed those stairs where her office opened into the hall, she would invite me in and we would chat until the bell rang and it was time for the next class. She was a wonderful woman and went out of her way to care for us.

  I attended Providence Academy when I was 5 in a split classroom of K's and 1st graders. Then to 3rd grade in the 3 story structure that was on the NW corner of the property. I returned and finished High School and graduated with 22 other young ladies in 1965. Sr. Alexis was our "leader"and a fantastic person. I was the sr. class president and have many fond memories.

  Luci, I thought there were 30 of us? Anyhow, she's right. I too attended 1-3rd grade and High School here. We were the last but one to graduate. The nuns helped shape accomplished, confident and amazing women. We were taught how to learn!
  The building is a symbol of an amazing group of women -The Sisters of Providence and the astounding contributions they made to Vancouver USA. We are all better because of them.
