PROVIDENCE ST. MEL SCHOOL 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 ANNUAL REPORT PROVIDENCE ST. MEL SCHOOL 2 PROVIDENCE ST. MEL SCHOOL 2014 ANNUAL REPORT A Message from Paul J. Adams III, Executive Chairman, & Jeanette DiBella, President Achievement, excellence, success— they never go out of season. And at Providence St. Mel School, they are always in season, year after year. This year, and for the 36th consecutive year, 100 percent of our graduates were accepted to four-year colleges and universities. Of the Class of 2014, a remarkable 93 percent of these seniors were accepted to a “tier one” institution, and 32 percent, to one of the ranked “Top 50” colleges, as rated by U.S. News and World Report. These graduates achieved a class average score of 24 on the ACT, while the national composite average is only 20.9. And for the top 25 percent of our Class of 2014, the score was 29! Were this not impressive enough, our newest graduates are receiving over $5 million in scholarships from the colleges and universities they are now attending. (Indeed, over the past five years, our graduates have received $22 million in college scholarships!) At Providence St. Mel, we are passionate in our commitment to provide the transformative education that prepares students for success not only in college but in life. We inspire our students to achieve the highest level of academic excellence by ensuring that our school continually improves, reaches higher, works harder, does more. In 2013-2014, Providence St. Mel: • Incorporated iPads in our elementary school classrooms as part of the reading curriculum, vaulting over the “digital divide,” so that our students, even our younger ones, remain competitive. • Started a robotics program to enhance the already robust science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education offered at our school. • Implemented the new Response to Intervention (RTI), an individualized, tiered program to empower underperforming students to “catch up” to their peers, perform at grade level, and receive a truly collegepreparatory education. Paul J. Adams III Executive Chairman • Improved our security system by building a new protective entryway and upgrading stateof-the-art monitoring equipment, in addition to refining our emergency preparedness and crisis intervention plans. Enabling our school to continue to provide a safe environment, this new security feature is one of only a number of building improvements that will be coming to Providence St. Mel next year, to ensure that ours remains the most productive learning environment for our students, no matter the season. The achievement, excellence, and success — and sustaining each — depend on collective hard work. Without you, our supporters and friends, none of what we accomplished during this year, or through the years, would have been possible. With gratitude, pride, but also humility, we commend everyone who contributed to making this another incredible year. Jeanette DiBella President 3 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 4 PROVIDENCE ST. MEL SCHOOL Thank You Mike O’Halleran! In February 2014, after nearly eight years at the helm, Mr. Michael O’Halleran stepped down as chair of the Providence St. Mel School board of trustees, handing over the gavel to Ms. Denise Seminetta. From the start of his tenure as chair, as we began a third decade as an independent collegepreparatory school, this 1968 graduate of St. Mel High School, sought to elevate the already recognized stature of and extend the record of academic excellence at Providence St. Mel. And he certainly did just that! His vision and dedication over the past several years, his exemplary leadership and tireless service, have had an immeasurable impact on our school and for our students and their families. Although he is stepping down as chair, he is not stepping away from our board of trustees. We are fortunate that Mike will continue to serve actively as a trustee. He remains committed to help Providence St. Mel to fulfill its mission and to give back to an institution that has transformed so many young lives. Time and again, he has proved, and will continue to prove, himself to be a man for all seasons. All of us at Providence St. Mel — our students, teachers and staff, alumni, and his fellow trustees — thank Mike for his hard work, good judgment, wise counsel, and affable spirit. PROVIDENCE ST. MEL SCHOOL 2014 ANNUAL REPORT A Message from Denise Seminetta, Chair of the Board of Trustees On behalf of our students, their families, and our teachers, administrators, and staff, my fellow board members and I thank our newest donors for your most welcome support and thank our longtime supporters for your unwavering commitment and unstinting generosity. All of us at Providence St. Mel School are deeply grateful. This year marks the start of my tenure as the chair of the board of trustees. One might say that 2014 signals something of a new season, especially for me, and I could not be more excited or honored as I undertake this most gratifying role. The transition to board chair has been smooth, thanks in large part to the solid footing provided by outgoing chair, Mr. Michael O’Halleran, who for nearly eight years offered inspirational leadership, dedicated service, sure-handed guidance, and good humor. Although unlucky to be the one to follow in such footsteps, I am so very fortunate that a way ahead has been pointed and that I have the help and company of my fellow trustees as we look to the future, move forward, and work to make an already vibrant, successful, and extraordinary school even better. With delight, gratitude, and, of course, humility, I join my colleagues to ensure that Providence St. Mel continues to maintain only the highest academic standards, to teach, challenge, and guide students, to provide hope to a disadvantaged inner-city community, and to be that responsible steward of the vital resources which your contributions make possible. By keeping Providence St. Mel at the top of your philanthropic priorities, you enable this remarkable school to deliver an exceptional, life-changing, competitive, and wholly college preparatory education to deserving children whose families face immense financial limitations. As you review this annual report and note some of the accomplishments and highlights of the 2013-2014 academic year, please recognize that this successful year would not have been possible without you. All of us at Providence St. Mel express our great gratitude to you, our donors and partners. We are fortunate and honored to have such a strong community of supporters who share in our belief that a quality education can make a profound difference in the lives of our students and for their families. We hope that you will continue to support Providence St. Mel, our students, our mission, our work.

Our students need your financial help today. Providence St. Mel keeps tuition low so that students, who otherwise would not have the opportunity, can have the chance at an excellent college-preparatory education. But this low tuition is much more than our struggling families can afford. Families recognize the quality and promise of a Providence St. Mel education. They pay what they can — and all families must pay something — towards their child’s education. But this amount seldom covers the tuition and never covers the true, full cost of education, which is more than double our tuition. Even though our school automatically underwrites more than half of this cost, the great majority of our students require yet additional financial assistance. Only with the support of such caring partners as you can Providence St. Mel continue to keep tuition low, offer indispensable scholarships, and deliver effective classroom instruction and exceptional enrichment programs that enable students to excel and succeed. Please join our other supporters today and be as generous as you can. Visit www.psmnow.com and click on Donate Now to Click submit your online contribution easily, conveniently, and securely. This paperless method saves postage and printing costs! Mail Call Use the enclosed self-addressed envelope to mail your check made payable to Providence St. Mel School. For more information on how you can support Providence St. Mel, call the Development Office at 773.722.7756. Many corporations have a matching gift program and have chosen this method to support education. Check with your company to see whether it provides this option. Many companies will match dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the value of your gift! Providence St. Mel also appreciates gifts of goods and services that directly support our programs and facilities. All of us at Providence St. Mel thank you for your kind and generous support! 39 72% OF PROVIDENCE ST. MEL’S STUDENTS RECEIVE NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID OR ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS ALREADY UNDERWRITTEN THROUGH FUNDRAISING THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE COST TO OPERATE THE SCHOOL COMES FROM TUITION, WHILE 65% COMES FROM INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION SUPPORT. “I am thankful for Providence St. Mel because of the family type community that is developed through experiences with friends and teachers.” - Maurice H., Class of 2014 “I love Providence St. Mel because of the immense dedication that the teachers have in regards to teaching us, the students.” - Marcellus B., Class of 2014 PRESORTED NONPROFIT ORG US POSTAGE PAID PERMIT NO. 7658 CHICAGO, IL. Providence St. Mel School Office of Development 119 South Central Park Blvd. Chicago, IL. 60624 www.psmnow.com Mission Statement At Providence St. Mel, we believe. We believe in the creation of inspired lives produced by the miracle of hard work. We are not frightened by the challenges of reality, but believe that we can change our conception of this world and our place within it. So we WORK, PLAN, BUILD, and DREAM – in that order. We believe that one must earn the right to dream. Our talent, discipline, and integrity will be our contribution to a new world, because we believe we can take this place, this time and this people, and make a better place, a better time, and a better people. With God’s help, we will either find a way or make one.
