Providence Cristo Rey High School

Last week, Litzy and Lorna traveled to Milwaukee to represent Providence Cristo Rey at the Cristo Rey SUMA (Student Union for Mission Alignment) Conference!

This year's theme was leadership, and they spent the week developing leadership skills, setting goals, and working alongside students from 16 other Cristo Rey schools from across the country. They participated in workshops, shared ideas, celebrated Mass, and built friendships with fellow student leaders.

The trip also included a tour of Marquette University, a college fair, and a visit to Summerfest.

We're excited to see how Litzy and Lorna use what they learned to make an impact back here at Providence Cristo Rey. Thank you for representing the Wolf Pack so well!

Today we had a special treat here at Providence Cristo Rey. Our Director of Admissions, Maria Aguirre, and Admissions & Enrollment Coordinator Alejandra Rovelo made authentic arepas for the staff to enjoy!

If you’ve never had one before, arepas are a traditional Venezuelan dish made from cornmeal dough, grilled until golden, and then filled with a variety of delicious fillings. They are one of the most iconic foods in Venezuela and are also enjoyed in Colombia.

We were lucky enough to try them fresh and they were incredible.

A huge thank you to Maria and Alejandra for sharing a piece of Maria’s home and culture with us. Experiences like this are a great reminder of the community and diversity we have here at PCR.

We appreciate you both so much

We are excited to announce that Greg VanSlambrook has been named the next President & CEO of Providence Cristo Rey High School and will officially begin his role on July 15, 2026.

Greg brings more than 25 years of experience in Catholic education and a deep passion for creating transformative opportunities for young people. A lifelong educator and leader, he most recently served as Principal of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, where he spent the past 14 years leading and strengthening the school community.

Throughout the search process, Greg's authenticity, humility, and unwavering commitment to Catholic education stood out. His passion for building communities where all can thrive aligns deeply with our mission and the values of Love, Mercy, and Justice that guide everything we do at Providence Cristo Rey.

As we prepare for this exciting new chapter, we are beyond grateful for the leadership of outgoing President & CEO Tyler Mayer and look forward to the future with great optimism.

Please join us in welcoming Greg, his wife Sara, and their four children to the Providence Cristo Rey family. We are thrilled to have him lead our community as we continue transforming lives through faith, education, and opportunity.

Just a few weeks after graduating, Litzy Molina-Pavon is adding another incredible honor to her list of accomplishments!

Litzy was recognized by the Marion County Coaches of Girls Sports Association as an Outstanding Senior Athlete, an honor she received after being nominated by Coach Scott. She was celebrated alongside other outstanding female student-athletes from across Marion County.

This recognition is a testament to Litzy's hard work, leadership, and dedication throughout her time at Providence Cristo Rey. We are so proud to see our recent graduate continue to be recognized for all she has accomplished.

Congratulations, Litzy! Your Wolf family is cheering you on every step of the way.
